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.

Sorry for the loss. He'll be missed greatly. It's sad whenever a patriot passes away.

Very sorry for your loss, Laz. From what I read of him, he was a true patriot, and your good friend and partner.

Matt was one of the good guys here at FR.

He sounded an early and cogent clarion on the dangers of lopsided free trade. He will be missed.

All humanity is of one Author, and is one volume; when one dies, one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into a better language; and every chapter must be so translated; God employs several translators; some pieces are translated by age, some by sickness, some by war, some by justice; but God’s hand is in every translation, and his hand shall bind up all our scattered leaves again for that library where every book shall lie open to one another.

-- JOHN DONNE (1572–1631)
