Tom Ryan was a most kind and generous leader in the field of trucking. In the 1970's, as a 20 something Tom grew in experience @ ABF and moved to Wilson Freight as the young Cleveland manager.
I was fortunate to have been hired by Tom into the trucking business at
Wilson Freight and remember him for starting my 20 year career in terminal operations. Over time, Mr. Ryan became Regional Vice-President at Wilson Freight and moved to Springfield, Ohio.
The memories of those people and times will remain forever.

Mr. Ryan or Thomas as he liked to tell me to call him by his first name was always such a friendly patient at the pharmacy. I always enjoyed speaking with him when he came in . He was one of the first patients who welcomed me to Springfield. He will be missed. I am so sorry for your loss Joyce and his family.
