Matt Reilly, also known as 'harpseal' on Free Republic, died on March 19, 2004.
His friend Eileen is making arrangements for a Memorial service at the local VA.
Matt was a former Navy SEAL, a keen businessman, a friend to his Walker Hound, and an accomplished sailor.
He was also my friend and my business partner. I can't barely see the keyboard through my tears. He will be missed greatly.

He was posting as normal on the 18th. It's a lesson in not getting too wrapped up in things. Condolences to his family and to you, Laz.
To: Lazamataz
May God welcome him to his reward. Harpseal was a great patriot and a treasured Freeper. We all looked forward to his calm, knowledgeable comments.
What greater tribute to a man than that he will be missed.

My deepest sympathy. I valued his insights and thoughts. The world is poorer for his passing, but I think Heaven is a little brighter with his arrival.

Condolences on your loss, Laz. I know that it must be very difficult to lose a close friend (sometimes they are closer to you than family), but you should feel better for having known him and in knowing that he's in a better place.
If I may be so forward, how old was he and what was the cause of his demise? Did he leave family besides his friend Eileen?
My thoughts are with you. Though I didn't know him, you can know something of someone by what they write over a long period of time. I always looked forward to see what Matt wrote about various subjects, and I greatly admired his patriotism and his dedication to Liberty.
