- O'REILLY, Anthony John 1942 - 2007 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Tony O'Reilly who died peacefully at home on July 29, 2007 with his loving wife Beverly at his side. Tony was born in Dublin, Ireland where he was apprenticed to the printing trade at the age of 14. He immigrated to Canada in 1967 and after working as a printer for the Winnipeg Free Press and RL Crain in Ottawa began selling cars. Tony never lost his love of Ireland, but was a fiercely proud Canadian as well. He had a rich life full of friends, music, lively conversations, and Guinness. He is at rest after fighting valiantly against cancer for the last year of his life. His infectious smile and generous spirit will be missed by all who knew him. Tony was predeceased by his father, John, his mother, Catherine and his brothers-in-law, Paddy, Billy, Mike and Murray. He will be lovingly remembered by his sisters Bridie, Maureen and Rita, his nieces Sandra (John) and Janet (Ken), their children and his nephew John. His god-children Matthew and Emma, his much loved mother-in-law Kay, sisters-in-law Marianne and Joan, and Karen and Ryan will also miss him dearly. Tony loved and was loved; what more can a man ask from life. The family wishes to thank the nurses and doctors from Palliative Care Outreach Program, At-Home Hospice and Carefor for the compassionate care they provided. Friends and family are invited to attend a funeral service at the Westboro Chapel of Tubman Funeral Homes, 403 Richmond Rd (at Roosevelt Ave) on Thursday August 2nd at 1:00 p.m. A reception will follow at Tony and Bev's home. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to Palliative Care Outreach Program.
