Francis Joseph Reilly

Bonnie and Reilly family,
I am so sorry for Fran's premature accession. Those who knew him can really appreciate his intellect, insight and humor. He was my "rock" for my eulogy for Frankie and for that I am forever grateful. I only hope that when it's time for me to move on we can be together and pick up where we left off-sharing opinions, wit and witticisms.

We are grateful to have had Fran as an important part of our lives and truly shall never forget him and all he has done for so many. We wish we could be with all of you as you do this difficult journey of separation but we are out of the country. You remain in our prayers for God to comfort you as only He can and we send our love to each of you, Tom and Katie Riggione

This city has lost it's formost voice and hard worker for its betterment. Fran you were always a smiling face on Wood St. or in City Hall. Without you this city is missing a piece of its compassion and direction.God bless you and your family.Thanks for all the help,information and friendship.

To Francis Reilly Family,

May I offer my deepest sympathy on the loss of Fran.
He was a good man.

I have known Fran for fifty years. When we were together we would clown around and laugh. Fran was a very learned man. He was also a very funny person. We would bust on each other and have lots of fun.

I feel very sad that i will be out of the country when visitations will take place for Fran.

May God give your family strength in your hour of...

To the Reilly family, I am so sorry for your loss. I never knew Fran, but I enjoyed his columns very much. I'm sure he will be greatly missed.
