Harpseal passed on as of March 19, 2004
His friend | Mar 22, 2004 | Laz

Posted on 03/22/2004 6:45:43 AM PST by Lazamataz

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.

I'll miss that old guy. Prayerts for the family. I sort of had a feeling that he wasn't in great health. Condolences to his family.

And his tagline was one of the best:

I am so sorry to hear this. I was on his "ping" list for economic issues.

I will miss him. He is with God, I'm sure.

Hand salute for a great FReeper.

Laz, we're all so sorry; for Harpseal, his family, the Freeper world, and you. He sorely will be missed.

That excerpt from his interview is going to make me cry.

Big bump to you sonsofliberty. The greatest tribute one can give to another is often their own words.

I agree with you 100%, but we felt we needed to respect his wishes to keep his pain private until the end.

God bless! I enjoyed his replies and his no non-sense style. He will be truly missed 'round these parts. Please pass along Free Republic's thoughts to his family.

I just read his FReeper interview from your link, netmilsmom. Wonderful questions, the answers brought tears to my eyes...thanks so much for posting the link, I remember his responses from many threads, he was a thoughtful man. I am sure he was met with unbounded love in heaven by those he wanted most to see...I am sure he heard the words he longed to hear most.

Laz, for your loss I offer the prayer of no words, only sorrow.
