He is predeceased by his parents, Gladys Borden Iler and Alexander Iler and his brother William Iler.
He is survived by his loving and beloved wife of 57 years, Joan Mills Iler; his loving children, Lynn Iler, M.D., (Bruce Ackman), Betsy Iler O’Connor (Jim O’Connor), Alexander Mills Iler, and William Charles Iler, Esq.; and his adored grandchildren, Jack, Griffin and Charlie Silver, Emma, Lindsey and Brooke Marinelli and Alexander “Wolfie” Iler and Graham Iler; and niece Edith Iler and nephews Sam, Matt and Alex Iler.
He spent joyous hours as a member of the Seabright Lawn Tennis and Cricket Club. He was also a member of the Rumson Country Club and the Seabright Beach Club, enjoying the company of his family, friends and his fellow bridge players.
His family is honoring his wishes to celebrate his life privately.
