Personal
Bud and his wife Mary had three sons: Mike (b.1953), Ed (b.1958), and Pete (b.1964). Mike spent his junior high and high school years in Corvallis and was midway through college at Alabama when Bud left OSU and became a nomadic coach in the CFL in 1973. The younger sons, specifically Pete, attended many different schools, primarily in Canada, in the 1970s and early 1980s (both went to four high schools, in a different city each year). Ed spent his senior year at Gonzaga Prep in Spokane, and then went to Whitworth College.
Bud's brother Hayden was the head basketball coach at Alabama (1960–68), and later was the head baseball coach of the Tide in the 1970s.
Riley died near his home in Penticton, British Columbia on August 4, 2012.
