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, this is so sad. What a great guy harpseal was. I jotted this for him when his wife, Maryann, passed a couple of years ago...
Half in Day A little while upon these icy floes
Is all we have upon the sea of time.
Horizons hint our sphere, God only knows,
Encompassed by the Sun's unending clime. His low-slung Light ascends and warms us here,
Atop the world, we wayward vagabonds.
Our vision jumbles, squinting to revere,
This humble glint of what we'll find beyond. Though robed in white at birth and once we pass,
As snow and light-- each mortal breath we draw
Is half in night, aspiring to surpass,
These mortal rafts before their final thaw. The day his iceberg melts to timeless fate,
The harpseal swims again to see his mate.
Godspeed, harpseal. Say hello to Maryann.

I have been on FR for a long time, but I don't know how to find the memorial page. Can you tell me how, or provide a link?
To: Lazamataz
From the
Harpseal interview:
When you get to heaven what three people can't you wait to meet?
Jesus Christ, my former wife, my mother
When you get to heaven what do you want God to say to you when you're before Him?
You were forgiven your sins.
May you rest in peace my FRiend. It was a pleasure to meet you, and we are all at a loss after losing not only a true patriot, but also a true treasure to have met. When asked:
What do you want people to remember you for?
Harpseal answered:
Being an honorable man who actions showed he cared for others
So it shall be...

Sorry Laz... Sounds like it was a complete surprise... Merciful for him to go that way, but a shock to those who love him.
Most here know harpseal's posts. I think it is JHoffa_ who manages the memorial wall.

Harpseal was a beautiful addition to FR..and his tagline was his trademark. I just can't believe it...he will be missed.
My condolences to his friends and family...
