To all the Riley family members, please accept sincere sympathies from all of the Bennetts on the passing of Buck. Buck is, indeed, in a better place. Alzheimer’s is a wicked afflication. 
Buck was a wonderful example of the many, strong (Catholic) father role models that my brothers and I were fortunate to have been exposed to in our younger years. I have numerous memories of Buck from my time at St Anthony’s. Seems Buck Riley and St. Anthony’s are synonymous, at least in my mind! He was a great guy, dedicated to his family and faith. I hardly ever enter St. Anthony’s with a memory of Buck. The best one, about the time, as a kid, he let me ring the church bells at a funeral (and ride up on the rope). I’ll think of that memory today.
 
We are truly blessed to have know him.

I was blessed to have been hired by Buck to be on the St. Anthony summer maintenance crew.  While he taught us how to strip and wax floors, paint, perform electrical and plumbing repairs, he also shared many lessons on his philosophy of life.   Buck was a special guy in many ways, wise and authentic.  He had a great impact on my life and I am a better person for knowing him, as are all the guys lucky enough to have been selected to support his efforts at St. Anthony.  Thanks for everything you did for me Buck, may you rest in peace.

What a wonderful obituary about a great man we were proud to call a friend  and lucky to have known. Buck was a man of principles and high moral standards. We loved his sense of humor and devotion to family and friends. He always treated us as though we were family. The time we spent with him was precious and we will remember him in our hearts forever.

The entire Kelly family from Juniata and I offer the Riley clan our very warmest at this hour of Bucks passing.
My mother a fellow Edward Hand Alum and Buck were close their entire lives. (Both coming friom the Book line). Mom simply held a special place of respect and endearment for Buck, whom she said was like a distant brother.
Their closeness was reflected by their children being close – as the Kelly & Riley offspring bond was also very strong, especially in their developing years. Mom recalled Buck’s tuffness on and off the field and said – if ever in a threatening situation, she wanted Buck nearby! 
Buck always had a smile for me, in part from his own very high regard for my mother Molly, his dear friend.  I regret I will miss offering Peg, Kenny, Pat, & Eddie + Becky my heart felt in person condolence.  Special support & solace to my childhood friend Kenny! 
God Bless “Buck” for his hard work & loyalty to St Anthonys.
That very feisty Molly & Tuff Buck are fearlessly again together offers me much comfort.
From N. Italy -a long distance & final salute to fellow veteran “Buck Riley” and his own !

I have many wonderful memories of Buck, including how he taught me to mop floors at St Anthony’s. 
Please accept my sincere condolences.
