Surrounded by his wife and three children, George William Reilly, 85, of Amelia Island, Fla., passed away Saturday, October 19, 2019 at Community Hospice & Palliative Care’s Warner Center for Caring in Fernandina Beach, Fla.
George was born in Waterbury, Conn., and was a son of the late George C. and Gladys Druzinsky Reilly. He graduated from the University of Connecticut.
In 1971, he moved to South Florida and it was there that he raised his family. George really enjoyed traveling on ski trips with family and friends. He also enjoyed racquet sports and time at the health club.
Family was the most important thing to George and he showed this through his love and constant support. George considered himself lucky to have married the love of his life. That marriage lasted 56 years.
George moved to Amelia Island, and his later years were spent on Amelia Island and the North Carolina mountains.
In keeping with his wishes, a small private family service will be held to remember George’s life.
Donations in his memory may be made to the Shriners Hospitals for Children.
