Holy Trinity Church and other organizations. Joseph P. Reilly was heavily involved with the
Special Olympics and its Torch Run.

  I do not know at the present time if he was related in any way to Harold V. Reilly World War I veteran or H.V. Pat Reilly World War II veteran.  Joseph P. Reilly’s involvement with the city of Hackensack and law enforcement, it does appear he is related to them, but I do not know at the present time.

Joseph P. Reilly served in the Navy during both World War II and Korean War.
