Passing of Harry Riley
By Richard Riley

My father, Harry Riley, passed away Wednesday, December 19th, 2007.
He was in his doctor's office and had a heart attack.  He was 98
years old and did not want to ruin his record of never having spent
a night in a hospital.

He was a member of the Heart of America (Kansas City) chapter of
AMICA.  He was active in the 1970s and '80s and attended many band
organ rallies around the Midwest with one of his organs in tow.
We shared the love of mechanical music and machines.
