Not sure what to say?

It has been many years since we have seen or spoken with each other. I was deeply saddened to hear of the loss of your dad. We had some great trips to the rink forging some very strong bonds. I often think of the Reilly family when I show our son the Immaculate Conception Hockey Team, that included many of the neighborhood kids. Back yard games and street hockey always under the proud and watchful eyes of your dad. Take care and please accept my condolences...

To Elaine -
I just got the word. So sad to lose Jack. My heart goes out to you from the person that you befriended so many years ago when I was working in Lowell. I have so many fond memories - getting Jack to have his first real drink, golf together, Harvard vs. Dartmouth. being the low men on the office totem pole and on and on.
With affection, Fred Church

To the entire Reilly family, I am so sorry to learn of your loss with the passing of Jack. He was a mentor, role model and friend to me at the very beginning of my professional career and unquestionably the most influential adult in my life. Additionally, aside from our working together, he taught me the very passion of fatherhood before I even had children of my own.

Jack, you were and are simply the best! Eternal gratitude.

To The Reilly Family,

I have the fondest memories of sharing times with you at NDA and on Andover Street. Mr. Reilly will always hold a special place in my heart. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you during this especially difficult year.

Thank you, Jack, for being an enduring example of professionalism wrapped in genuine personal commitment. This is the benchmark of working for and with Fred C. Church that was so conspicuously established and sustained through Jack’s daily practice of it. Anyone who wanted to understand what leadership entails and requires needed to look no further than Jack Reilly. He was the personification of admirable leadership.

To The Reilly Family,

Mr. Reilly will be greatly missed, he was the best in everything he did. He has helped the community in soo many ways. He was a great dad and mentor for those who knew him! I worked for Mr. Reilly for many years and have always respected him as a co-worker, friend, and am very sadden by his loss, and he will never be forgotten.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Family and my fellow co-workers.
