Obituary for Vance Riley


Vance Riley, 70 years old, born January 21, 1947, died Tuesday, April 11, 2017 of pancreatic cancer.
He is survived by his sister, Verna Lee Latham; and her two daughters, Suzanne Young, and Joanne Olson.
Vance attended Albuquerque public schools culminating in a BSEE from UNM and later an MBA from Duke University in Durham, NC.
He worked primarily in the telecom industry and was blessed by being able to live and work internationally in such places as Galway, Ireland; Calgary, Canada; The People’s Republic of China; and other foreign locations. He was able to visit many more. He enjoyed the challenge of the work and the travel – especially since it was always at the company’s cost.
Cremation has taken place and a private memorial is planned.
