Sad day for Willoughby

‘Pat Reilly was a colourful, larger than life character and a formidable presence on the Willoughby local political scene for many years.

‘He went out of his way to welcome me when I was elected as the Member for Bradfield in 2009, and I always found him very good to work with.

‘His achievements as Mayor of Willoughby were substantial and the Willoughby Civic Centre stands out as a particular highlight of his term of office.

‘We will all greatly miss Pat.’
