He and my brother were classmates. They shared hopes, visions of the class of 1960. Prayers for the Riley family.

My condolences go out to the entire family of Coach Riley. He was a really good man and an inspiration to Tigers for decades. He will always live in my mind prowling the sidelines with Harold Lloyd.

Prayers to Coach Riley's family. Our paths crossed as coach and football player at the Silsbee Tiger Nation. Moved us to perform at our highest level. He was tough, yet always fair. He always made the effort to tell you why he just chewed on you and made it clear that he cared. Thank you Coach Riley.

I had the honor knowing Coach Riley in three different capacities. First he was one of my coaches and teachers, when I came back to Silsbee to coach he was a colleague and he and Frankye became my friends. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

Frankye, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your Family.
