Lost a great old friend to cancer yesterday. I learned more from him about teaching kids baseball, hard work, character, integrity and perseverance than Coach O'Reilly will ever know. We only coached this rag tag group of boys for three years but these boys will tell you that in his own way Coach O made us all better at life. Although we spoke rarely over the past couple years, I miss him more now. I'm sure there are plenty of Yankee games to watch in heaven Kevin!— with Kevin O'Reilly and Billy Blackwell.
Jonny Epstein Well said Gerry, he was a special guy with a heart of gold.
Taught me a lot as well, and was a great guy to work with. We all had some good laughs, I'll be rooting for the Yanks Kev, on your behalf.

Jim Davis Ger-We only played a few season together, but he had a great knowledge of the game and a superior ability to reach and relate to young men! I learned a lot about how to coach and how to lead from Coach O.
