Not sure what to say?

Oh Mr. Ray O'Reilly, Do you have any idea how you effected so many people. I will so miss seeing that sweet smile and your gleaming eyes.
Just seeing you walk through the doors would brighten my day.
I loved hearing your stories and the sound advice that you would give.
You were one of the very first Vendors that I got to know when I first started working as a Receptionist at Costco Corporate Offices, some twenty odd years ago. I remember that you would bring us large...

Raymond and Barbara

You father I will and have already missed you. I know your in a better place. Right next to a Costco Warehouse :} I will miss our deep sea fishing trips. And how you would explain to me that this fishing trip is better then anything a school could teach you. Plus I didn't have to go to school. I am happy for you. You lived life to the fullest. But, Truckee CA is were you decided to leave and go to Mom. It is a beautiful mountain range. It's impossible to say in words my love for you. You made...

Very sorry to hear this news.I met you and Ray only last summer in Matthew's garden in Dublin where Ray gave me solid advice on getting product onto shop shelves, and I gave you a bar of soap ! Our discussion was about soap manufacture and distribution.I was so looking forward to meeting Ray again.Heartfelt condolences.Peter Dwyer.

I will miss the phone calls from " himself" .. A great inspirational Uncle and Friend . Gone but will never be forgotten ...
Your living Nephew Paul.
As we have a saying in the Irish language Ni bheidh a leitheid ann aris. This means there will never be his equal.

Although I only knew Ray for a short time I quickly came to realize he was a man of many great qualities. One of which, his wit & humor, was on display every day when he'd stop by the warehouse to say hello to Don and anyone else in his path that day. His desire and ability to create and share a laugh or a smile have created fond memories.

Thoughts and prayers go out to the Friends and Family of Ray.

Marie,
I was so sorry to hear about the loss of your brother. I know how close you both were. May God comfort and bless your family this holiday season.
Hugs,
Jackie Kolze (Butler Group)

Even though I didn't know Ray for very long, I was fortunate enough to join Eurow & O'Reilly and at least get to know him for a few months. I will never forget his enthusiasm for new things and the time he would take to speak to each one of us sharing stories of his past and imparting his wisdom. Ray, you will be missed!

Dear Marie- My deepest sympathies to you and your family during this difficult time. What a year this has been for you all. While I never met Raymond, I have heard so many loving stories from you over the yrs. that I feel I have gotten to know a small part of him through our conversations and friendship. There was never any doubt in my mind that he was very dearly loved and one of "THE BEST".

My thoughts and prayers go out to each of you at this time. I am hoping all those...
