Not sure what to say?

Dear Regina, Katherine, Meghan, Aunt Peggy, Peter, Sean, Francis and Kathleen,

Please accept my sympathy for your loss. I was deeply saddened when I learned of Paul's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.

With heartfelt condolences,
Maureen and Carl

As one of my best friends fom high school obviously Paul left this world too soon. As aCatholic believer we are sure that he lives still and that we will see him at the resurrection on the last day. He was always a role model for the good and I miss him and pray for him.

Dear Reilly Family,
I was so sorry to hear about Paul's passing. I worked at Campbell's Soup and and during that time spent about 10 years working closely with Paul and his BBDO team on many projects. I have 2 daughters, each about a year or so younger than Katie & Meghan, and Paul shared stories of family college visits, the college search process, and much more, and helped me navigate it all the next year. He was a great friend and business partner, and a lot of fun to work with. He...

Dear Regina, Kathrine and Meghan,

My deep sympathies on the loss of Paul. He was a wonderful man and was a great colleague on the Advertising Club Board.

Will always remember how exciting it was to hear Paul tell us about his adventures for Northwestern in Qatar.

Remember first meeting him when he came to visit you at Bozell, Regina.

May you all find some consolidation thinking about happier times.

All my best,

Dear Regina, Katie and Meghan -
The wake, funeral and reception were very classy and moving - as befits Paul.

I can only hope that someone will say half as many nice things at my funeral as Meghan said in her eulogy of Paul.

It was great to see the extended family. The next generation of Reillys is an impressive one.

God bless,
Michael and Claudia Price

Dear Regina, Katherine an Meghan:
I met Paul three years ago at Fordham University. We connected immediately as I had a long career in ad agencies and I'm also a graduate of Northwestern. Paul was an absolute font of knowledge about Fordham and I learned very much from him about the history and culture of the place that meant so much to him. We shared a common interest in Fordham basketball, saw many games together and, during his illness, had coffee frequently at Slave to the Grind in...

I remember Paul from grammar school. Always thought of him as a smart, likable person. God rest his soul. My condolences to the entire Reilly family.

While I was working at BBDO, my middle-school-aged nephew came to the office on his way to see a Broadway show. He had bought a bow tie especially for the occasion, but although he tried literally thirty times, he couldn't get it right.

Paul tied it for him.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time. Paul was truly a good man.

Dear Regina, Katherine and Meghan, Mrs. Reilly, Peter and the Reilly Family:
I always remember Paul and Peter as gentle souls. The perfect example of real gentlemen and true followers of Christ. You knew that they were Christians and followers of Jesus by their words and actions / behavior. Fellow Yonkers brothers, they were and are: "Men of Stepinac". Although we had lost touch of over the years, I recall them fondly. My deepest and sincere condolences on Paul's passing. May he rest in...
