RYAN, Desmond John. 84 years young. The sun rose again today, though a little less bright without you here. We know you will be sitting at that big hootchie in the sky, beer in hand, watching over us. This isn't goodbye, it's see you later. Dearly loved husband and soulmate to Dot. Devoted dad and father in law to Adam, Lisa and Peter Skilton, and Tina. Great poppa to all his grandchildren and great grandchildren. Loyal and respected friend to many. As per Des's wishes a private cremation has been held. Thank you to everyone who has supported Des and the family. Pickering Funeral Services Funeral Directors Wairoa FDANZ
