 He is survived by his wife of 42 years; Gail Risley; son, Mark (Debra Sanchez) Risley with grandson, Aiden Risley; daughter, Lynn (Jonathan) Maxwell with grandson, Austin Maxwell; son-in-law, Joseph Wright; two nephews, Michael (Kelly Ann) Risley and Sean (Elaine) Reis; niece, Katherine (William) Katz.
