Dennis Patrick J. Riley was born on this day in Providence, Rhode Island to the late Margaret F. (Bartley) Riley (1911-1978) and the late Patrick J. Riley (1900-1985). His great grandfather, Patrick Leo Riley (1875-1955), was a first-generation American, which makes Dennis a third-generation American.

Benefiting from growing up in the Darlington section of Pawtucket and having twelve years of Catholic school education, Dennis’s life went relatively smoothly. Not too much to report, other than being blessed with great parents and having two wonderful sisters (Barbara & Joan) and two tempestuous brothers (Bill & Jim) whom had already reached adulthood by the time he was born, thereby allowing him to be spoiled to the enth degree! He thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it.

Ben Nelson was born on this day in Providence, Rhode Island to Lynne (Daley) Nelson and Russell Nelson. Ben’s grandmother was the late Joan (Riley) Daley (1929-2019) and his great grandfather was the late Patrick J. Riley (1900-1985).

Growing up in Middletown, Ben attended the local elementary and middle schools, and is now enrolled in Middletown High School. Having a good mixture of both Riley and Daley genes, so naturally… Ben plays baseball. Blessed with great speed and quick hands, Ben patrols second base for Middletown’s High School Varsity team and was 2nd Team All-State last year!

Here is Ben pictured with his late grandmother Joan. She never missed a game.

Here’s wishing Ben a great baseball season and a very, very Happy Birthday.
