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.

Anything you can find out would be great. Please FR mail it to me when it's convenient.
Harpseal was much loved here, and I know all of us want to remember him on the Wall.
Take care of yoruself also. It's easy to get overwhelmed when things like this happen.
Regards Laz. Best wishes, man.

Terrible news Laz. Another great FReeper passes. I always enjoyed his contributions to our firearms threads.

For you, Laz:
Life's Rarest Treasure
Life's rarest treasure
Is a true friend
One who, no matter how intense the storms
No matter how fiercely the harsh winds blow
Never gives up on you
Never wavers, never bends
Shining silver, glittering gold
Beautiful diamonds or precious gems
Are counted as nothing when compared
To the great worth of a true friend
EV
In memory of Matt Reilly aka harpseal...
Today America lost a true friend.
RIP in the loving arms of our merciful God.
To: Lazamataz; harpseal
My condoleances.
I am so sad to hear this. I met Matt when I traveled to New Haven to shoot with him on the range there.
He was such a great person. I will miss him. We all will.
Rest in Peace Matt

Never knew Harpseal personally but I was on his ping list. He took a very personal interest in the off-shoring of jobs which is a most honorable area with which to be concerned. He was concerned about the welfare of average Americans.
May he rest in peace.

So very sad. Prayers for some measure of peace for you and his family. Please let them know how many friends he had here at FreeRepublic.
To: Lazamataz
Well, Laz, him being your friend, he has to have a good sense of humor, and I'll bet there's some good laughter where he is now.
My condolences to you and his family.
To: Lazamataz
Laz,
Please take care of yourself. Taking a turn down the wrong road would, I'm sure, be the last thing Matt would have wanted for you.
Rest in peace, Harpseal.

Laz,
Matt (harpseal) was one of my absolute favorites at FR. I will miss him. Wish I was able to meet him in person.
His family and friends, and you, will be in my prayers.

Day is done,
Gone the sun,
From the lake, from the hill, from the sky.
All is well -- lay thee rest -- God is nigh!
To: Lazamataz
My condolences, Laz.
Lots of prayers going up for you now.
Prayers for guidance and strength.
I hope you find some comfort in that.

Without hope we haven't a prayer.
