Vicki, we were shocked to hear of the passing of Chris, a truly gentle man.
The last time we met up with both of you in March in Launceston, Chris was battling from the fall and the Dialysis but he seemed confident of winning.
It is true to say"only the good die young".
Sorry we will not be at the funeral, but our condolences to you, Angela, Melinda and Christal.
Ray and Annette Lougheed.

Vicki, we were devastated to hear the news today. . We had so much fun together on our trips overseas. Chris was truly a gentle giant and we were so lucky to meet you both on the Zuiderdam in '07. Our thoughts are with you, Angela, Melinda and Christal and families at this very sad time. Wish we could be there with you.

Dear Vicki, Angela, Melinda, Christal and extended family, our deepest sympathies for your loss. Chris was a true gentleman, mentor and friend. He welcomed people into the family and was generous with his time and advice. He was a role model and compass point for how to be a good man and wonderful father. His physical presence only matched by the kindness of his heart.

Chris 'Big Fella' O'Reilly will be sadly missed by many.
