Wolsfeld family,
I worked with Ryan for a couple years at the third rail. Ryan always wanted everyone around him to be happy. I think of his hugs the most. Ryan always gave the best hugs. He was an amazing person who was so loved. Your family will be in my prayers everyday.

I worked and lived at third rail with Ryan for a long time. I was privileged to call him my friend. Ryan was one of the most thoughtful people I have met. When I was working six days a week, late night early morning shifts, with my girlfriend 7 months pregnant, Ryan always went out of his way to check on her and make sure she was okay. Neither Myself or Rose will ever forget that. Ryan was a great friend to Rose and I both. We miss him.

Carrie, Steve, Joe, Ally,

So sorry to hear about Ryan. For many, many years we felt like Ryan was as much a part of our family as he was yours.
He and Richard were inseparable. Memories of his presence with us in Florida with the "scuba fish" (have you ever tried to swim/snorkel with someone trying to stand on your back?)and his comments around your trip to Iowa to see the Field of Dreams field which he called "OhiIowa" still bring a smile to my face.

It was such a joy to see him at Richard's wedding.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you, not too mention alot of tears. He will be missed.
