Read More	DURHAM -- Mr. Thomas Wayne "Tommy" Riley, 63, of Durham passed away Sunday morning, July 3rd, peacefully at his home surrounded by a loving family. Born in Durham County, he was the oldest son of the late Nola H. Riley and Gus F. Riley. Tommy served in the US Air Force from 1968 thru 1972 and was a 1985 graduate of NC Wesleyan College. Until medical needs required him to retire last fall, he had spent 20 years employed at Reichhold, Inc. as a Sr. Tax Analyst. Tommy's love for his Lord was evident in his service at Ebenezer Baptist Church where he was a faithful member serving in the choir, as a Deacon since 1976 and for the past 26 years as the Church Treasurer. God's creation, the great outdoors, was a favorite for Tommy. He was an avid hunter, fisherman and enjoyed spending time with his trusty chainsaw and considered stacking firewood an art form. From the late sixties through the early nineties he played a mean left field for the Ebenezer Baptist Church softball team and then traded in his glove for an umpire uniform. Tommy was a lifelong Duke fan who became an Iron Duke in 1985 before Duke Basketball was big. He was a faithful follower of Duke basketball and football. For the last 5 years his favorite recreational activity was working on his farm and baiting a fish hook for his favorite lady. Tommy is survived by his wife of 43 years, Linda Ball Riley; two sons, Johnny Wayne and wife, Angela of Olin, NC and Jimmy Fletcher and wife, Jennifer of Mebane, NC; three brothers, Mike and wife, Sue of Virgilina, Va, Bobby and wife, Cynthia of Durham, and Luke and wife, Kelly of Hillsborough. There will be a Celebration of Life Memorial Service held at Ebenezer Baptist Church on Tuesday, July 5th, at 11:00 a.m. with the Rev. Earl Echols and the Rev. Mike Riley officiating. Burial will follow in the church cemetery. Casket bearers will be sons, Johnny and Jimmy Riley, youngest brother, Luke Riley, long time friends, Johnny Clark and Doug Boyd and "adopted son", Jed Womble. Employees of Reichhold, Inc. will be honored with reserved seating. The family will receive friends from 6 to 8 pm on Monday, July 4th, at Ebenezer Baptist Church, 1210 Pleasant Green Rd., Hillsborough.
