Some of the family photos look like some may have been of you.

I would like to share a letter great grandmother, E. A. Reilly La Pointe wrote to me when I was a very little girl, presumably intended for when I would be old enough to read. The letterhead reads: E. A. La Pointe, 218 Jefferson Avenue, Miami Beach, Florida.

Thoughts to the family in memory of Robert Reilly. Although brief, I remember his keen sense of family wit,Irish ire, and devoted attention to his wife Mary Lou, as being exemplary of his character and faith.
As Mary Lou would question, looking up the stars in Scaly Mt, NC - "What are they doing up there??"

Dear Reilly Family,
Sorry for the loss of your father. He will be greatly missed. I will miss his songs, stories of Miami Beach, and especially miss his sayings like, "Go to work" and "Do you know what day it is? The day after the day your rent was due!" from a story about his grandmother, GG, who is was renting from, and my all time favorite: "He who buys what is does not need, will someday need what he can not buy."
we look forward to the time when Jesus promise at John 5:28 & 29...

It is up to us now.
The children and grandchildren of a small group of extraordinary, exceptional human beings. Bob Reilly carried the banner until the end. It wasn’t he first time he was accused of being a ringleader.
To say that he was the last of a ‘band of brothers’ would be a disservice. That would mean that many people have had the rare opportunity to know what the sons of St Patrick are all about, and we are among the very few who have had that privilege.

Glenn and I just heard of your father's death. He was a brilliant and wonderful man who shared his knowledge with his industry. He certainly gave us a lot of advice when we started our company. We have good memories of his and your mother's visits to Savannah. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.
