To the Reilly Family
I also was a classmate of Don's at CCHS '51. Even then his talents where on display. There was no doubt that he would succeed in any endeavor he pursued. My condolences to the family.

Marveled at his drawing and sketchs.Very sorry to hear of his
Passing.

Patricia, Brian, Mike and Kathleen-
I know my sentiments went your way a few days ago, but reading the piece just brought back a flood of emotions. Thank you for including the death of my mom. She was so very proud of Uncle Don.

With Love,
Linda G.

I offer my sincerest condolences to all of you upon the death of Don. He and I were Classmates at Central Catholic High School. He sat behind me in some classes and the teacher would get us mixed up both of us had dark hair and Irish names-Reilly-Rafferty. I am glad I had a chance to see Don again at our 50th Reunion in 2001.
