                        HON. FRANK PALLONE, JR.

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, July 20, 1995
  Mr. PALLONE. Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay tribute to the late Herman O. 
Wiley, M.D., of Red Bank, NJ, who passed away last month.
  Dr. Wiley was born on June 12, 1912, in the Bronx, NY, the only son 
of William and Ethel Wiley. He was educated in the public schools of 
New York and was a graduate of Virginia State University, where he met 
and married Maeble Harston Wiley, his devoted and loving wife of 60 
years. He subsequently attended and graduated from Howard University 
Medical School. Dr. Wiley was a veteran of World War II, and served as 
a captain in the Medical Corps of the U.S. Army in Italy and North 
Africa.
  A long-time resident of Red Bank, Dr. Wiley was elected to and served 
on the Red Bank Board of Education for 18 years. He was also active and 
held office in numerous civic and social organizations, and received 
many awards and commendations for his devoted service to his community. 
Among the awards were Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity's Regional Man of the 
Year award, a Distinguished Service award of the Red Bank NAACP and the 
Westside Ministerium, and an award as Man of the Year from the Kiwanis 
Club. He was a 

[[Page E1479]]
charter member of Zeta Episolon Lambda Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha 
Fraternity and a member and past president of the Red Bank Men's Club. 
He was also a member of the National Guardsmen, Inc., and a member of 
the H.M. Club of America. He was a member of the New Jersey Medical 
Association and the American Medical Association and was formerly 
affiliated, before his retirement in 1994, with Monmouth Medical 
Center, Long Branch, NJ, and Riverview Medical Center, Red Bank, NJ.
  Mr. Speaker, it is a great honor for me to pay tribute to Dr. Wiley, 
a patriot who served his country with distinction during a time of war, 
and then came home and continued to serve our society in many ways; as 
a physician, a leader in community affairs and as a devoted husband and 
father. He will be missed deeply by his family, friends, colleagues and 
by our entire community.
