Riley and I became acquainted about 15 years ago. He was the nicest, soft spoken man I think I have ever met. Going to the casino will never be the same, not seeing Riley sitting at the UTH table will be so sad. He will be missed by all who knew him. My sincere sympathy to all of his family. Rest In Peace, Riley! Mary Gourlay
