Thomas Wiley Obituary

Thomas Wiley, 86

ST. AUGUSTINE, FL - Thomas Wiley, 86, of St. Augustine, Florida, passed away on Sunday, November 13, 2016 at Silver Treasures Assisted Living.

He was born on October 7, 1930 in Anderson, Indiana, son of the late Grace and Leslie Wiley. Tom served his country for a year in the U.S. Air Force.

Following his discharge he went to business college in Anderson. He then started his career in the auto parts business, eventually owning over fifty stores mostly in Indiana and Ohio. After retiring to St. Augustine, he built and operated the Anastasia Athletic and Racquet Ball Club. Tom was a big fan of Racquet ball and he played every day until a few years ago. He also enjoyed duplicate bridge and took many trips to Europe and South America. Tom never had a quiet or boring day in his life. His enthusiasm was a wonderful quality of his.

He is survived by his wife, Pat, who he married in 1970; three children, Linda Wiley, Cindy Butterfield and Steve Wiley; sister, Ruth Rariden; two grandchildren, Zack Harnage and Corey Butterfield; four great-grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews that were dear to him. Tom also has three step-children, Kathy Tullis, Timothy O'Leary and Colleen O'Leary; three step-grandchildren, Patrick O'Leary, Jenifer Tullis Russel and Timothy Tullis; two step-great-grandchildren.

Pat would like to express her appreciation to the management and staff of Silver Treasures for their love and the wonderful care given to her beloved Tom.

Memorial services will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Friday, November 18, 2016 at St. Johns Family Funeral Home with Pastor Andrew Smith officiating.

Thank you Tom, and Pat for being wonderful friends to my mom, Bev. I also felt the vibes of your "zest for life" and the firm pats on the back were so comforting.

Tom was like a part of our family. Even when we had not seen Tom and Pat for awhile, we always picked up where we left off and enjoyed so many wonderful times together! He will be missed beyond words and we will always have such great memories of Tom. He was an inspiration to us all, in his work ethic and love for life and especially his love for Pat and his family. We always enjoyed catching up and hearing stories about how everyone was doing when we came to town. I will never forget the time I came in to the club and met Tom and asked for a discount membership to join , since I was in college at the time and could not join because of my limited budget. Tom kindly signed me up with a plan I could afford and our special relationship continued from there... not long after, I brought into the club, my husband, Mike Mansfield and Tom, Pat and Mike and I became lifelong friends. Mike adored Tom, as we all did and had such great respect for the person and business man he was and especially his zest for life! They loved each other and I hope they are in heaven together having a nice glass of red wine and figuring out the crazy political situation we are in right now! Cheers Tom Wiley,! We love you and Pat and thank you both for being such a special part of our lives! The Mansfield Family
