Not sure what to say?

Pretty sure you delivered myself, and sister. Rest in peace you deserve it.

Dr Reilly was the baby doc for me and all of my siblings. You couldnt ask for a better pediatrician .

To the Reilly family,
Your dad was such a wonderful doctor--kind, generous, and dedicated to his profession. He was my pediatrician, and for a while, my first child's, also. Dr. Reilly will be missed by so many in Bay Ridge. He and your family are in my prayers.

I just wanted to send my condolences to the Reilly family, and tell them that your Father was a great Doctor, who gave my Parents help and excellent advice when I had my open heart surgery in 1962.

Margie,

We love you and have your Dad in our prayers - Rita and Wayne

Margie and family,
My thoughts are with you at this sorrowful time. He was a wonderful man who lived a long and happy life. May you find comfort in your pride and memories.

The Manhattan College alumni community shares the grief, and is now praying for our fellow alumni and the family at this time. The Alumni Office has been informed. As well as the Jasper Jottings community that I personally can reach. We are all a little poorer now. "No man is an island, entire of itself … any man’s death diminishes me". We are sorry for your loss.
