Mr. Kiley was a member of St. Rita’s Catholic Church. He was a member of the Royal Order of the Moose, Lodge No. 437. Mr. Kiley retired from S.C. Johnson & Son in 1992, and then worked for Cooper Industries until 1999 and for Omni, Inc. until 2007.
Tom was active in the Boy Scouts of America for 25 years, serving on Troop 161 committee for nearly 20 years and serving as an Assistant Scoutmaster up to the time of his death. Tom’s primary focus was to help young scouts achieve the rank of First Class, which he truly loved. Many scouts will remember him as the person who taught them how to tie their first knots, do basic first aid and get their feet wet. Tom was also active in council and district positions over the years. He served on the District Jamboree committee and attended the National Jamboree in 1993. He also served on the District Advancement committee and as a Commissioner.

(Tammi) Kiley; two sisters, Lillian (Val) Pawlowski and Diane (Michael) Dunk; two sisters-in-law, Patricia Manuel and Janet (Roger) Robichaux; one brother-in-law, William (Kathie) Belden; his mother-in-law, Mary Ellen Belden; two aunts, Jody Belden and Helen Karwowski; many relatives and friends. Tom was preceded in death by his parents, Manton and Jesse Kiley.
