To all the Reilly's - I am truly sorry for your loss. Every time I encountered Mr Reilly, he always had something very sweet and funny to say. He has returned to the true love of his life on the other side. There they will be waiting for the rest of us.

Sincere sympathy to all the Reilly clan. Known to all the Chestnut Hill kids he was always 'Mr. Reilly' and to the rest of us, he was 'Reds'. We will always remember him on the front porch with a greeting for everyone.
May all your good memories keep you close. God bless all.

A great, kind and funny neighbor. We learned about gardening, weeds, old Chestnut Hill and the early Las Vegas from Tom. It's good to think he's back with Marianne and Tom and all his old friends. We'll see you on the other side.

So sad to see "Reds" leave us. So many memories while growing up. So many of the Dads in Chestnut Hill were involve in our upbringing-a real family atmosphere. Sorry to see them leaving us, one by one. Thanks Reds, and all of the Dads.
