I didn't really know Mr. Reilly that well, except when visiting my friend, his daughter. I did always find him funny in a dry sort of way, much like my own father. I am sorry that there are so many people who will miss him. But if you think about it, the more people that miss him means that while he was with us, he touched so many lives. My sympathy's for the Reilly's family's loss.

Marty and Family,
Dennis was a good friend for many years. We will miss him very much, especially seeing him at the Moose. Your family is in our prayers, and we hope the wonderful memories will help you get through these trying times.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Reilly family.
I first met Mr. Reilly when I joined the rescue squad in 1982. I have always known him to be kind and generous. He will be missed around the kitchen table.
