I would have to agree with Alma... I am not good with words, but I want you to know your family is in my prayers. God bless.

Ok my turn.

Bobby and Alan,
Let me start by saying I can count on "LESS" then one hand how many families I know of that are as close as yours. I admire that and everyone should be that lucky. You guys work together, play together, and in times like this "PULL" together. I envy that, I wish All family units were that tight. I can only assume that these were values instilled by your Grandfather Art.
Guys, I ment what I said tonite. My life would be ALOT diff. today if Art had not have opened that store so many years ago. For his actions way back then have allowed you two to become a very positive influence in my life and how I live it! (Like that or not!) So for that I cant thank him enough. I can only imagine how many lives he positively touched in his life.

You know when I got home tonite I went in and kissed the girls goodnite (they were asleep) and the only thing I could think of was I hope I can do a fraction of a good of job as that man did raising a family!!!

Bobby, Al you both thanked me tonite for comming up but it is I that should be thanking you for being responsible for introducing me to such a truely "GREAT GUY"
My sincerest Condolences!
LUNDY

P.S.
Bobby,you made the comment that Art would probably be up there selling clouds. Just remember, if you get there before I do I get mine at dealer cost!!! [Big Grin]

My most sincere condolences to the Rileys. In moments like this is better to remember the good times rather than get caught by the sadness of loosing a loved one.

Sorry to hear about this Alan and Bobby. I do remember him at the store the one time that I visited and remember him being very outgoing and funny! My prayers go out to your whole family and loved ones that will miss him.

P.S. Alan, is that your boy?! He's growing like a weed!

I did not know the man, but from what I can see by everyone's replies is that the world has lost a wonderful person, but Heaven has gained a wonderful soul. My condolences for your loss. I lost my Grandfather a few years ago and this thread brought a tear to my eye. May your family be well. Please talk to us here if you need anything whether it's kind words or more.

Alan & Bobby,

My heart goes out to you both and your family. You are all in my prayers and thoughts. If there is anything i can do - please just let me know.

Guys - I'm not just saying this - I really mean it. As I am sure all who posted do.

And after all has settled please send me information on how to make a contribution in your grandfathers name to this foundation.
