Gilbert Michael Reillo

Gilbert Michael Reillo, age 76, of Forest Hill, Maryland, passed away on Wednesday, October 1, 2025.

Born in Baltimore, Maryland, he was the son of the late Gregory Reillo and Helen (Wentz) Reillo. Gilbert proudly served his country in the Vietnam War, completing two tours of duty, and remained deeply proud of his service throughout his life.

He was a quiet, humble, and kind man who loved to take walks around the city and never missed a chance to strike up a conversation with anyone he met. Known for his friendly nature and incredible sense of humor, Gilbert brought joy to all who knew him. He was very independent, always liked to keep busy, and had a special love for animals, especially dogs and cats. As the youngest of six children, family was always important to him.

In addition to his parents, Gilbert was preceded in death by his brothers Gregory and Ronald, and sister Geraldine. He is survived by his sisters Marlene Lisek (Husband- Joseph) and Aurora Reillo, his niece Jill Miller (Husband- Brian), and many beloved nieces and nephews.

Gilbert’s family and friends will remember him as a warmhearted man who valued connection, service, and kindness above all else.
