06ituary
Mr. James "Bob" Riley was born on February 19, 1933 in Brewton, Alabama to the late Mary Magalean Johnson and the late Robert Johnson.
James was a man of very little words but when he spoke you heard him loud and clear. He was a good father, husband, grandfather, brother, and friend. James was a hard worker and good provider for his family and a good listener. He was a very well respected man and loved by many. He always said "I'm the chief of this tribe". That was our Papa.
James leaves to cherish his memories: his wife, Laureana A. Edwards; children, Orlando Riley (Rhonda), Brenda Riley-Thomas (Bernard) and Nicole Edwards; grandchildren, I<imberley Jackson, Orlando Riley, Jr., Terry Hardy, Tanika Woodson, Ashley Edwards and Toni Paige; ten great-grandchildren; sister, Eulene White; brother, Willie Walter Johnson and a host of great nieces and nephews, nieces and nephews, cousins, in-laws, other relatives and friends.
I 'm Pree
Don'tgrievefor me, for now I'm free. I'm foliowing the path God has laidyou see. I took His hand when I heard him call I turned my back and left it all. I could not stC!J another dC!J to laugh, to love, to work, to plC!J.
Tasks left undone must StC!J that WC!J I found thatpeace at the close ofdC!J. Ifmy parting has left a void then fill it with rememberedjqy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, 0 hyes, these things I too will miss. Be not burdened with times ofsorrow I wishyou the sunshine oftomorrow. My life's been full, I savored much, goodfriends, good times, a loved one's touch. Perhaps my time seemed ali too briefdon't lengthen it now with undue grief Ujt upyour hearts andpeace to thee. God wanted me now; He set mefree.
