WILLIAM REILLY Obituary

REILLY--William Patrick,

Esq. Died August 17, 2015 at his beloved summer home in Rhinelander, WI. Born August 29, 1935 in Lynbrook, NY and educated at Bucknell University and UVA Law School, Bill became Managing Partner of Gould and Wilkie in New York, also serving on the Advisory Board of the Salvation Army. He retired from Westchester, NY to Ft. Myers, FL in 2002. He is survived by his wife Jane Letherman Reilly, daughters Karin Reilly (by his first wife, Renate Runde Reilly) and Christine L. Borner, and three grandchildren. His humor and quiet generosity to all will be missed.
