Not sure what to say?

Frank was my first boss in 1961 when, as a high school student, I worked at Reilly's Pharmacy in Cascade, MI. I remember the soda fountain, the peanut machine, and loading the cooler with beer. I learned a lot from him about dealing with the public, mopping the floor, cleaning the windows, and mostly about paying attention to detail. He was a really nice person.

Dear Reilly Family,
So sorry to be reading that Mr. Reilly passed away. He and my dad Dick Pins were great friends and many of my childhood memories include him and his wife with my parents. I am sure there was a joyous reunion in heaven! God Bless.

We got to know Mr. Reilly through his son and our friend, Austin. He was always so kind and funny to talk with. We know he will be missed by his family and friends, and those who hold fond memories of Reilly's Pharmacy. We are keeping the Reilly Family in our prayers and hope the precious memories you have help ease this difficult time.

I loved working for Frank along side the Reilly children back in the late 1970's and early 1980's. Please know that you are all in my prayers.

Reilly Family,
I am saddened to hear of Frank's passing. I hope by sharing family stories, pictures, tears, and laughter his spirit will stay alive in your hearts. He now has a front row seat with Vicky watching those amazing grand kids and the Spartans. Bob, Liz, Olivia, and Sally I will thinking of you as you celebrate his remarkable life.

Prayers being sent to the Reilly family! Love you Austin!

I had the pleasure of knowing Mr. Reilly since I was a teenager stopping into "the pharmacy", as we all called it! I reconnected years later through his loving son, Austin, who remains a close family friend. Austin, you and your family are in my prayers this weekend. May you find peace through all the good thoughts from your friends.

We will always remember Frank and Vicky for the loving, thoughtful, acts of kindness they gave to so many, including me. They raised a beautiful family and I was privileged to be a part of the their lives. We will miss Frank a lot, especially his warm smile, generous nature and strong faith. Our love and prayers go out to all the children and extended family.
Geoff and Ellen Johnson, Tim Reilly and Scott Reilly families.

Thinking of you and praying for comfort from family and friends to support you through this time.
