Condolence: Please accept my sincere condolences to the family. May your many fine memories of him bring you comfort during this difficult time. May the God of all comfort give you the comfort you need to endure this difficult time. (2 Corinthians 1:3,4)

Condolence: My deepest condolences go out to the Reilly family. What can be said of this great man that has not already been said? Coach was one of my favorite leaders during my time at Portland High School. Everyday I would look forward to gym class so that I would get to see Coach. I was not an athlete on any of his teams but he still treated me as one of his own and he did that for everyone. I'll miss him serenading me every morning whether in gym class or in the halls with "Meet The Mets". Coach was the greatest teacher a student could have asked for and if we lost a great one I am certain that heaven has gained one. One last thing I remember from way back in high school is Coach's free throws. He would step up to the line and amaze us every day with how many free throws he could hit in a row. He was like Larry Bird. May you never miss another free throw Coach.

Condolence: To Gene's family Gene was what most of us try to be; a good man. He was a great athlete and coach, but I will also remember him as a nice guy from Hartford who served his country with honor. May he rest in peace.

Condolence: To the family of Coach Reilly, I am so sorry to hear about your loss. You will be in our thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. Coach Reilly was such a great athlete/coach but even a greater person. As far as coaching goes, he beat us (Bacon Academy) too many times, he was a legend. Gene will be missed by so many including my father, his old friend and myself. God bless you.

Condolence: Gene, you made my time in the service more than bearable. We became close friends when we both needed friendship. Thanks Gene, you will always be remembered.

Condolence: My deepest sympathy for your loss. May your cherished memories give you strength and comfort during this difficult time. My memories of Coach Rielly are many, and each one always brings a smile to my face. He was a very kind and funny man and he will be missed.

Condolence: Dear Mary Margaret, We're so sorry for your loss. Gene is not alone... and neither are you. May God be your refuge and your strength. Love, Henriet and Tom

Condolence: Mr. Reilly "Coach" was a great coach to many, many Portland High School students. He was such a calm and quiet guy who was nice to everyone. He will be missed. He made a difference in many young people's lives. My thoughts and prayers are with his wife and family during this difficult time.

Condolence: Dear Mary Margaret, We are so sorry that Gene is no longer with us. I'll miss that little wave he would give us as he drove by while we took our walks together, and his witty sense of humor, too. Undoubtedly, many will miss him. May God give you His strength and peace. Mary Ellen and Alan

Condolence: Very, very deepest sympathy to you, dear Mary Margaret, from Ben and me ... you have been, and will continue to be, so much in our thoughts and prayers. May you find comfort and peace through the love and support of family and friends, and in so many treasured memories of your wonderful husband.

Condolence: Mary Margaret: Your wonderful man fought the good fight to the end. The final words of Dickens' Sydney Carton seem appropriate: ..."it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known."

Condolence: Mary, I am so sorry about the passing of Gene. He was a sweet man and a great friend to my father. Sending you my thoughts and prayers at this very difficult time. Love, Colleen
