William Reilly Obituary

Reilly, William M. WATERVLIET William Reilly, known to his friends as "Critter," passed away suddenly at Samaritan Hospital on Monday, February 15, 2021. William was born on March 6, 1975, the son of Barbara and Harold Wickham. Critter was known for his witty sense of humor and brought life to his friends' parties. We are thankful for the gift of his life and the blessing of the time we had with him. Survivors include his daughter, Bailee Reilly-Phillips (Noah) and his granddaughter, Felicity Phillips; his wife, Constance Reilly, stepdaughter, Meghan Gilbert, and grandson, Kadin; and his siblings, Laurie Brown (Eric), Lisa Kellner and Joseph Bennett. We will not be hosting a service at this time. There will be a celebration of life for friends and family at a later date.
