As one of my best friends fom high school obviously Paul left this world too soon. As aCatholic believer we are sure that he lives still and that we will see him at the resurrection on the last day. He was always a role model for the good and I miss him and pray for him.

Dear Reilly Family,
I was so sorry to hear about Paul's passing. I worked at Campbell's Soup and and during that time spent about 10 years working closely with Paul and his BBDO team on many projects. I have 2 daughters, each about a year or so younger than Katie & Meghan, and Paul shared stories of family college visits, the college search process, and much more, and helped me navigate it all the next year. He was a great friend and business partner, and a lot of fun to work with. He talked about his family often, with great pride and smiles. My thoughts are with you.
Warmly,
Sara Silver Honovich

Dear Regina, Kathrine and Meghan,
My deep sympathies on the loss of Paul. He was a wonderful man and was a great colleague on the Advertising Club Board.
Will always remember how exciting it was to hear Paul tell us about his adventures for Northwestern in Qatar.
Remember first meeting him when he came to visit you at Bozell, Regina.
May you all find some consolidation thinking about happier times.
All my best,
Michael Price

Dear Regina, Katie and Meghan -
The wake, funeral and reception were very classy and moving - as befits Paul.
I can only hope that someone will say half as many nice things at my funeral as Meghan said in her eulogy of Paul.
It was great to see the extended family. The next generation of Reillys is an impressive one.
God bless,
Michael and Claudia Price

Dear Regina, Katherine an Meghan:
I met Paul three years ago at Fordham University. We connected immediately as I had a long career in ad agencies and I'm also a graduate of Northwestern. Paul was an absolute font of knowledge about Fordham and I learned very much from him about the history and culture of the place that meant so much to him. We shared a common interest in Fordham basketball, saw many games together and, during his illness, had coffee frequently at Slave to the Grind in Bronxville. We have several ideas to honor Paul's memory here at Fordham and will communicate with your family when appropriate. I am smarter and more knowledgeable man by having known Paul Reilly.

While I was working at BBDO, my middle-school-aged nephew came to the office on his way to see a Broadway show. He had bought a bow tie especially for the occasion, but although he tried literally thirty times, he couldn't get it right.
Paul tied it for him.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time. Paul was truly a good man.

Dear Regina, Katherine and Meghan, Mrs. Reilly, Peter and the Reilly Family:
I always remember Paul and Peter as gentle souls. The perfect example of real gentlemen and true followers of Christ. You knew that they were Christians and followers of Jesus by their words and actions / behavior. Fellow Yonkers brothers, they were and are: "Men of Stepinac". Although we had lost touch of over the years, I recall them fondly. My deepest and sincere condolences on Paul's passing. May he rest in peace and may your memories of him give you comfort in the days and weeks to come.
Sincerely,
Carl Garofolo, Jr.

Regina, Katie and Meg,
My deepest condolences to you and your family. I worked at Campbell's with Paul for 10 years. He was the most committed person I ever met, always driving down to our offices each day. He cared so much about our brands, the people and the work. We heard him talk with pride about his family all the time too. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Dear Regina, Katie, and Meghan ... You don't know me, but I worked with Paul for many years, when he headed up the Campbell Soup Co account at BBDO. I worked for Campbell's. My heart is broken to hear of his passing -- Gone too soon, far too young, with so much more to give to this world. He was the consummate professional, and a friend. And as so many have attributed, one of the all time good guys -- kind, humble, and caring. I remember the countless hours spent in back rooms of focus groups, or traipsing about to obscure towns for in-home research, and some very serious and often funny conversations about our families. I feel like I know you. My prayers are with you at this difficult time. May his awesome legacy shine on! ... Andrea Mulligan

Dear Regina, Katie and Meghan,
I have so many fond memories of Paul when we worked together on the Citibank account. He always had a good story at the right moment, and was so intelligent, hard working and steadfast. And that dry wit got us through many a stressful moment! He was a very special person. I'm deeply saddened by his passing. He will be badly missed by everyone who knew him.

There are times when words hold no value and just a memory of a smile or a dry sense of humor (expressed at the perfect moment) that brings remembrance of a funny, intelligent, loving person who will be sorely missed. We love Paul and though our meet-ups seemed to grow farther apart with life getting in the way, we will always be grateful for the time spent with good friends. We love you Regina, Katie and Meghan
Our thoughts & prayers are with you.
Anne, Rich and Family

To the Reilly Family,
I knew Paul at BBDO. I did not work directly with him, but knew many who did. He was admired and respected greatly. He always had a smile for people while walking the halls and mentored the younger staff members.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.

As an old friend from the Ad Club of NY, I know how special he was at getting things done with an energy, style and focus that was contagious.

Such a special colleague and friend. So much togetherness at Citibank trying to get the advertising just right and then again at Campbell.We shared many ups and downs in the advertising business. Paul always remained hopeful and positive. With the fondness of memories I will always think of Paul. And will never forget the time he told me when we were shooting commercials in LA, staying at the Four Seasons where Mel Gibson was also staying when a Message was left with the front desk that Mel wanted to meet for drinks! Well this was as I found out later from Mr Paul Reilly. Just a little entertainment after a long day.
My thoughts are with Paul's family at this time.

Dear Mrs. Reilly and the Misses Reilly,
I met Paul when I started at BBDO as a broke college grad. If I forgot to pack my lunch, Paul would always give me soup out of the Campbell's closet. He was a really nice man. Please accept my deepest sympathies on your loss.
Sincerely yours,
