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.

Oh no. I can't believe this. I'm just devastated. In my opinion, he was the best Freeper of all. God bless his family and friends. God blessed us with harpseal's presence on this message board. He will be so missed.

What horrible news! I knew he had cut down on some of his Freeping but I didn't know that he was sick.
