[edit] Tom Riley Jr.

Thomas Dale Riley Jr. is a resident of Odyssey who has been around since the very first Family Portraits episode, "Whit's Visitor". Tom, born in Marion, Indiana, is an apple farmer, he owns and resides on a large apple farm, which he inherited from his father. In episode #202: "Timmy's Cabin", Tom learns that at least some of the apple trees on his farm were originally sown by Johnny Appleseed. Tom has also been the mayor of Odyssey, a little league coach, and has served on various boards in the town of Odyssey.Tom never dreamed he would accomplish combining his small town idealism with big town effects.

[edit] Family

Tom's second wife, Agnes Riley, is mentally ill and is living at Hillingdale Haven. Tom married her after losing his first wife to cancer. He also had a son, Timmy Riley, who drowned in a boating accident before his father remarried. He also has a great-niece, Jami Martin. His Father was Tom Riley Sr., and he had a sister named Rebecca. Any other family members are not mentioned.

[edit] Friends and Personal life

Tom is good friends with John Whittaker, Bernard Walton, and many others. Tom Riley gets along well with kids and he's always willing to give advice to them, if needed. Tom Riley isn't big on technology or fancy words and (especially in the earlier seasons) was frequently at odds with Eugene on those subjects. After the debut of Bernard Walton, Tom and Eugene were portrayed as less-adversarial friends. Tom is also a very religious man and is an elder in his church. Tom is a great man and is one of the most beloved residents of Odyssey. Tom Riley started The Timothy Center after his son died and named it in his honor.

[edit] Political Life

Tom's political life expanded, however, after his friends urge him to run for mayor in episodes #286 & #287, "Tom for Mayor, Parts 1 & 2". Tom's mayorship is plagued with troubles brought on by the Blackgaard saga. After his term expires, Tom returns to farming, but is eventually inspired by the memory of his late son Timmy to create a recreation center at his farm for kids from the inner city. The "Timothy Center" has occupied much of his time in the past eight seasons.
