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.

Prayers for harpseal, and for you.

I think I need the prayers as much as he. I'm not taking this very well.

To the others I pinged: My friend and business partner is dead.

The local VA will be in or near Madison, CT. I'll get more information from Eileen as it comes available.

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.

Prayers for him and the family are on the way.

I didn't know he was ill.
DAMN! He WILL be missed.

RIP, Harpseal. Almost exactly two years since his dear wife passed. Together again. May the Lord bless them both.

Big Prayers for you from the girls and myself. You will be in our thoughts today.
If you need to vent or just babble, please feel free to FReepmail me. It seems that lots of people here are closer to you but anything I can do, I'll be there for you.

Big, big Hug, Laz.
