John B. Reilly ABINGTON John B. Jack Reilly, longtime resident of Abington, passed away suddenly, at his home, June 10, 2009, at the age of 69. He was the adoring husband of Ann (Bailey) Reilly for the past 46 years; and loving father of Shawn P. Reilly and wife Kathleen of Abington, Dr. Mark T. Reilly and his fiance Dr. Linda Cimetti of Plympton, Maura A. Reilly of South Boston, Sheila B. (Reilly) Nelson and her husband Peter of Wakefield and Edward M. Reilly and his wife Leslie of Abington; devoted Grampy of Jill, Maeve, Eddie, Kayla, Michael and Jack Reilly; and loving brother to Mary (Reilly) Graham of Abington. Jack attended Abington High School and Stonehill College, graduating in 1962. After graduating from Suffolk University Law School, he was a local real estate attorney for the past 38 years, after retiring from teaching and coaching at Abington High for 13 years. Jack was a proud member of St. Bridgets Parish and a member of the Abington Knights of Columbus, previously serving as Grand Knight. He served the town as recreation director, Abington Highs athletic director and helped to form the Abington Green Wave Boosters. Jack was always an avid supporter and fan of youth sports and Abington High Schools athletic programs. Jack enjoyed coaching youth baseball and basketball, volunteering as an umpire and organized recreation events at Island Grove and annual bus trips to Paragon Park for Abingtons children. As a hobby, he developed sports-themed board games, such as Win, Place & Show, with his dear friend Tom Divoll. As a former star quarterback and baseball player in Abington, he dedicated much of his adult life insuring that Abingtons children could enjoy the opportunity to play sports on the highest quality playing fields possible. Jack was responsible for the fundraising and installation of the light towers at Memorial Field in 1990; he coordinated two million dollars in fundraising for Abingtons Millennium Project consisting of a new running track, playing field and bandstand complex to be enjoyed by all residents of Abington; he supported the creation of a new weightlifting facility for Abingtons students-athletes; and he annually sponsored youth sports teams each season under the anonymous name of Green Wave. He treasured his family, enjoyed playing golf with his wife and children on Cape Cod and loved to buy ice cream and play on the beach with his adorable grandchildren. Jacks sense of humor, loyalty, community pride and exemplary generosity will be sadly missed by many loyal friends, former ballplayers, former students and a grieving family.
