Tom and I flew in the air guard, Western airlines, and Azure Sky. He was a great friend. I have been trying to find him for some time. I am sorry I missed contact before his passing away.

Dear Ryan Family, I always enjoyed flying with Capt. Ryan. He was lots of fun and certainly handsome to look at! Sincerely, Marcia Dalton Flight Attendant (Western and Delta years)

Tom was always a gentleman to be around, and a very good pilot and airline employee. He also always looked great. I enjoyed my association with him.

I flew with Tom for several years, and enjoyed every minute. Tom and I spent many years together with our pilot group, getting together for our annual Christmas dinners. I will miss Tom. Sad times.

Marilyn: Toni and I have tried to contact you two for quite sometime, unsuccessfully. We are shocked and saddened with Toms passing. He and I had a lot of good times in the ANG and airline. I could not thank him enough for the job he provided me after retirement from the airline.
Would you let us know how to contact you. Here is my internet address [email protected] or call 435-649-9330.
