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.

My deepest sympathy. I valued his insights and thoughts. The world is poorer for his passing, but I think Heaven is a little brighter with his arrival.

Does anyone have a hint as to what they are really objecting to here?

Any firearm not in the hands of a gibbermint agent.

Condolences on your loss, Laz. I know that it must be very difficult to lose a close friend (sometimes they are closer to you than family), but you should feel better for having known him and in knowing that he's in a better place.

If I may be so forward, how old was he and what was the cause of his demise? Did he leave family besides his friend Eileen?

My thoughts are with you. Though I didn't know him, you can know something of someone by what they write over a long period of time. I always looked forward to see what Matt wrote about various subjects, and I greatly admired his patriotism and his dedication to Liberty.
