To Joe's Family, Though a little younger than he, I knew Joe all of my young life in Charlestown as I was a fixture at his mother,Bea Ryan's family store. Kids like me were part of Joe's extended family. I was happy to see him in South Boston where I also moved to and occasionally ran along the beach with him. He was so proud of his children and loved his grandchildren. I will miss seeing that unique running style silhouetted against the Bay. He was a cancer survivor of extraordinary stamina and I admire his determination to live as long as God would let him. May he find plenty to drink at his final water stop.

To Joe's family,
I am saddened by the news of Joe's death. I worked with Joe at HHS for many years and often chatted with him at lunch. He was a terrific teacher and coach who deeply cared about educating and encouraging kids. I keep you in my thoughts through this difficult loss.

Joe and Mike,
We are so sorry for your loss. I grew up with your Dad in Charlestown and later found each other in The Hingham Public Schools. He was a great guy and will be sorely missed.

I ran cross country for Mr. Ryan for all of my 4 years at Hingham High, and I hope that all who were close to him know what a lifelong gift he gave us kids. And how much we continue to appreciate all that he selflessly did for us.
