Maryann and family,
I received a phone call today regarding Mr. Reilly. I was so saddened to hear of his passing. He was a very special man and will be missed. When I worked at the E-burg Vet he brought a smile to my face whenever I saw him and I always looked forward to seeing him. My thoughts & prayers are with you.

Dearest Family...
Jack was my brother-in-law but to me he was the true brother I never had.
I loved him dearly from the first time I met him in 1981.
His sometimes gruff exterior held a sensitive and loving heart...he truly personified the expression "heart of gold".
My thoughts, prayers, and love are with you in this time of great sorrow.
And I know that Jack's spirit will watch over and guide you always.
We were all blessed to have had him in our lives.
