Kathleen,

Charles was a remarkable man; he will be missed by so very many, certainly me among them. He leaves a remarkable legacy in his wonderful family. I'm sure you're all there for each other. Know that those outside the fold feel the loss as well. While our relationship had its share of challenges, I can truly look back at my career and thank Charles for being the impetus that carried me forward for all these years. He was a mentor and a friend. I will miss him.

He was always honest and decent to his employees. I knew Mr. Reilly from back in the mid 1970's...and that quality of his never wavered. He will always be remembered, not just by his social circle, but by those who worked for him and benefited from that fact.

Kathleen

Just heard about the loss of Charles.
We always enjoyed his company and will always remember our short stay with you back in February of 1999. He was a good and generous man and will be missed by all of us. He made a significant impact at LaSalle and the Charter Dinner will be a lasting legacy
for the LaSallian family. You and your family will be in our prayers during these sad days ahead.

Deepest condolences to your whole family. Smart, Genuine, Kind and Caring. I feel privileged to have met him a few years ago. This community will miss him dearly. I hosted a fundraiser during the Jupiter Mayor/ Town Council campaign I was the political consultant on a few years ago. He and his wife went above and beyond and made the evening a great success. A very caring man for not only his family but also his community, with great values.

Kathleen and family, we were so very sad to hear about Charles , a dear cousin. I spent many weekends with the family in Phila growing up. It was great and never a dull moment. It was always a fun time with 7 kids! I was teased always if I took too long getting ready in the bathroom by the boys, saying hurry up , you are not home! Our deepest sympathy to all of the family. Love , cousin Tootsie and husband Bill

Based solely on my watching how Charles' son, Joseph, impacted and contributed to our entire MBA class, it's not hard to imagine the impeccable character and loving influence of his father who I never met. May the mighty Lord our God continue to shine His grace on Charles Riley's family for generations to come.
