My deepest sympathy to my aunt Millie and all my cousins. My memory of Ryan is his great sense of humor. Humor is such a wonderful gift and he had it in abundance. I have a two-family photo taken somewhere outside, and I always smile when I see Ryan holding teething beads from one of his younger siblings around both of his hands.
My thoughts and prayers of healing are with all of you during this time.

I was sorry to hear about my cousin's passing, especially because I hadn't seen him for so long. My favorite memories of Ryan was when he worked downtown at Kosichek's (spelling?). I think Ryan was the best dressed guy I've ever known - he always looked fabulous. I so loved his spiffy clothes and ready smile, and that's the memory I hold onto.
