Terry & Family,
Joe, Sarah & would like to express our heartfelt condolences on loss of your Father. Although we've only had the pleasure of meeting your parents a few times, during those times we could tell what wonderful people they are! We could also tell that your Father was a man of great integrity and his strong faith was evident in the way that he carried himself and in the way that he raised you to be such a loving, caring member of our family. We love you Terry and hearts are with you, always. All our love and deepest sympathy. Joe, Connie & Sarah

Terry, Timmy, Maureen, Bridget and Mrs. Ryan:
I can't think of a single memory of my childhood without the Ryans in it. It truly was the most idyllic life for a kid and your father was an intregral part of my growing up. I can still hear him saying "Rapid Robert!" when I showed up at your backdoor every afternoon and Saturday morning asking if Terry or Timmy could come out to play. He was a gentleman and friend to all the kids in the neighborhood. We were so blessed to have been surrounded by so much love when we all on the "court". I think back with the fondest memories of the Ryans, the Blackfords, the McMurrays, the Bassetts, the Elliotts....... My prayers and thoughts are with you. Your dad was an exceptional man. I know you will miss him.....I know I will.

Tim: I am very sorry to learn of the loss of your father; a true member of the Greatest Generation. I lost my own father last November and I pray that the memories you have of your father will asuage the loss, as it has for me.
Sincere regards and condolences,

Dear Elaine, Terry, Tim, Maureen and Bridget,
May you have happy memories of your precious husband and father.
John's Love for God, his family and service to others will be remembered.

It was so lovely getting to know John as his new neighbors a few years ago when he still lived in his house on St. Christophers Road with Elaine. He and Elaine were always so welcoming to us and we love them and will miss John so much. Our condolences to the family.
Grace and Hiram and the kids
