                            HON. JAMES COMER

                        Wednesday, July 11, 2018

  Mr. COMER. Mr. Speaker, today the First District of Kentucky fondly 
reflects on the life of Mr. R.C. Riley of Benton, Kentucky. A community 
leader revered for his commitment to his industry, Mr. Riley served as 
an integral facet of business development and economic prosperity in 
Western Kentucky.
   Mr. Riley was instrumental in the founding, management and growth of 
Peel & Holland Financial Group, beginning his career in 1965 and 
serving the organization as President, Chief Executive Officer, and 
Chairman of the Board. During his tenure, he was not only a 
distinguished industry leader known throughout the Commonwealth, but 
represented the region on national association boards and garnered the 
most prestigious nationwide accolades in the insurance industry.
   On behalf of all who knew him, I send my greatest sympathies to his 
family, including his two sons, Roy and Keith Riley through whom his 
legacy lives on. I join with his family and friends to celebrate his 
meaningful presence in the lives of everyone he touched and honor his 
outstanding legacy of selfless, compassionate service to others.
