H. Edward Reiley
(1928-2008)
Ed Reiley was many things. A husband and father, grandfather and great-grandfather. An educator and a USAF fighter pilot. A nurseryman and an author. A gardener since the age of five and a man with a great sense of humor. A member of the American Rhododendron Society and a life member of the Future Farmers of America. A former president of the Rhododendron Society and a recipient of the Society's Gold Medal in 2004. Most of all, a great friend and a heck of a nice guy. He will be sorely missed.
