Robin Riley Obituary
Rob was appointed to the Milwaukee Police Department in 1969 and promoted to detective in 1979, where he remained until he retired in 2001.
Rob would think his greatest achievement would be his loving, endearing relationship with his wife Mary Lynne and his family.
Rob enjoyed writing stories and novels and was a published author of three books. He had a love of electronics and music. He was very spiritual and practiced meditation daily. Rob will be remembered for his sense of humor and generosity.
A visitation will take place on Thursday, January 19, 2023 from 1pm until the time of service at 3pm at HERITAGE FUNERAL HOME (4800 S 84th St, Greenfield). Private family entombment at St. Adalbert Cemetery.

Its been many years since I last saw Rob. I considered him a dear friend and am so sorry we lost track of one another over the years. I was thinking of him this morning and thought I would try to reconnect. I was shocked to see his death notice and obit.
Mary Lynn I am so sorry for your loss. Ruth and I did not know you very well but we did like you and we were happy that you and Rob were so happy.
Damn I am just shocked to read this news.
