Gilles Benoit O'Reilly March 7,1932 – August 12, 2015

Gill is survived by his wife of 57 years; children Beatrice, Ronald, and Mark; grandchildren Alexander, Julie, James, Adrianna, Ivy, and Jade; great grandchild Harmony.
Gilles was born in Scout Lake Saskatchewan. He was the fourth child of eleven children born to William and Therese ( Beauregard) O'Reilly.
Gill's passions included golfing, skiing, and hiking. He loved to travel and spend his winter's in Thousand Palms.
Some of Gill's service to his community involved being a Boy Scout Leader, and helping extensively with fundraising effort of a new Catholic parish, St. Mathews (Surrey).
Gilles was a devoted husband, father, and friend; he will be missed by many.
In The Eyes of His Daughter:
– He was a patient father
-A loving father
– A teaching – showing man
– A forgiving man
– A man with so few words, but wise words
– Best of all he was my father with the best sense of humour,
and love for my children and me
I am so proud that you were my dad our Pepère
Love your daughter,
Beatrice
