William T. Riley


Billy Riley.....A friend of senior year and for a couple of years after commuting to work.....The odds and ends of remembering.A quick snarky humor and sense of constantly on the move.The fast smile too.As an athlete I probably envied him.  We would swim in the quarries... Quincy and that one on the Weymouth-Hingham line.We'll I'd swim (and jump from the lower levels).Billy would dive from the highest.  A wonderful near jack-knive form everytime from every height.And tackling.... the toughest tackle I ever took.We all would try to avoid his hits.  It's difficult to believe that people that are so full of life can pass.Billy was one of those.
