August 1, 1938 – May 9, 2023.

Dr. William (Bill) Reilly passed away on May 9, 2023.

Dr. Bill, 84, was born on August 1, 1938, in Fort Wayne, Indiana. He was the son of William Francis Reilly Sr and Catherine E. Reilly. Bill had one sister, Mary Ann Reilly. William attended college at Dayton University where he met his wife, Janet Rose, in social studies class. Bill and Jan married on August 11, 1962, in Dayton, Ohio at the Church of Holy Angels. Their first son, Christopher Reilly, was born in 1963. Bill graduated from Dayton University in 1960 and attended medical school at Marquette Medical School in Wisconsin finishing in 1964 upon which he did his residency at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota with a completion date of 1970. While at the Mayo Clinic, Bill and Janet had their second son, William Joseph Reilly, in 1969.

Upon completion of his residency, Dr. Bill and his family moved to Tucson, AZ to Davis-Monthan Air Force Base where he served two years practicing medicine. In 1973, William moved to Salt Lake City, UT with his family to practice medicine at the Salt Lake Clinic and Intermountain Health Care. William’s specialties were Oncology, Hematology, Internal Medicine, and Bone Marrow Transplantation. William retired in 2004 at age 66. Dr. Bill worked extremely hard to provide the best care for his patients, some of which kept in touch, thanking him for the extra years he was able to provide.

Dr. Bill and his wife moved to Tulsa, OK, in 2018 to be closer to family and joined the retirement community at Inverness Village. He was a loving husband and father with a great sense of humor who enjoyed cooking, reading, and gardening in his younger days. William is survived and dearly missed by his wife Janet Reilly, his sons Chris Reilly and Bill Reilly and wife Lisa Reilly.

The funeral service will be held at 10:30 AM on Friday, May 12, 2023, at Inverness Retirement Community in Tulsa. Arrangements are being handled by Chapman Black Funeral Home.

We wish to thank the nurses and physicians who diligently cared for Bill at St. John’s Hospital.
