John Joseph Reilly Jr.

I grew up with Jack in Scranton Pa. He lived two houses away from me and he was like my brother all those years until we both graduated from high school! We saw each other almost every day until we both married other people and moved away losing touch with each other. When facebook became available, I looked him up and could not find him anywhere! Little did I know that he had passed away in 2003 at the young age of 57. I only found this out 2 yrs ago when I attended our 50th class reunion...

I was honored by his friendship, honesty, love of life and family and his loyalty to the Airway Facilities organization. He was a fun person to be with; one always had a good laugh when Jack was around. Though we all miss him now,specially his beautiful family, I sincerely treasure the great moments we spent together as colleagues in the FAA. God bless his family, for I know that he is in a better place than we are, resting with the Lord.

I've known Jack for at least 20 or 25 years, from Oklahoma City as an instructor with him, and through his last several positions at the FAA here in Washington.
I have never known a more caring and pleasant man, no matter what the circumstance. I will really miss him. I wish his family well in all things now that he is gone.

I miss Jack's smiling Irish eyes and the Irish laughter in the next cubicle.

To the Reilly Family:
Jack was a very good friend that I could always count on when I needed help either at work or at home. I miss him and still catch myself wanting to visit him at his desk.

To Diane and family

Please except our our deepest sympathy. Les and I will always miss Jack's great sense of humor and humility.

There are never going to be enough kind, generous words to describe this "Gentle Giant". I call him a Gentle Giant because he was just a very loud person whose bark was a lot louder then his bite. As long as I've known him, he's always been the same. When you saw him, there was always a smile. Jack is without a doubt going to be tremendously missed. May GOD continue to strengthen you in your time of bereavement.
