William O'Reilly Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
He was a man of quiet strength, intellect, and deep love for his family. A devoted father, brother, grandfather, and friend, he led by example-teaching resilience, kindness, and the value of hard work. His sharp wit, passion for learning, and unwavering support shaped the lives of those who knew him. He found his greatest joy on the water, sailing with family and friends, and in the love, he shared with his late wife, Jean. He carried her memory with him always.
He is survived by his sons, Bill (Kate) Pat (Lisa), and Tim (Jackie); grandsons, Callan and Kieran; and brothers, Kevin and Jim (Allison).
A life well lived, a presence deeply missed.
He often ended conversations a certain way- "Welp, 'nuf said."
Go be with Mom now. We love you and will miss you always.
