David P. Ryan

It's hard to believe it's been a year.
I constantly think of Dave and recently had a conversation with some friends talking in glowing terms about the heart and the humanity of the man.

He is one of a handful of people who have passed that I dearly miss.

Hi Erin,
I'm always reminded of Dave because I still have some ugly ties that I can't give away. He was a great guy and there's no one to replace his smiling face.

Sincerely,
Christina

Dear Mary & family,

My sincere sympathy on the loss of Dave. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Dear Mary;

I was so sorry to hear of David's passing. David was one of my favorite "kids" from Fairfield Street. I have such wonderful memories of him... he was so funny, upbeat and just plain nice. He left us much too soon. I wish you and your family strength during this time.

My deepest sympathies to the Ryan family. Some of my fondest childhood memories are of all the Ryan brothers. I loved coming home from playing outdoors to find a Ryan at my house hanging out with my brother Paul. I spent many hours watching them flip baseball cards, playing whiffleball, climbing trees or just following them around.
Dave's kind and gentle nature was a precious gift to all who knew him.
God bless,
Nancy Bedrosian Burns

To The family of Mr. Ryan, I am so sorry for your loss.
Having worked as his clinical coordinator, I remember Mr. Ryan as being quite funny and very direct.
A great person to have a conversation with and a wonderful person.
He will be truly missed.
My prayers will be with you his family.

Dear Mrs. Ryan, Scott and Erin,
I was so sorry to hear of the loss of Mr. Ryan. My parents were so fond of him, as are my memories of Mr. Ryan from the days when Scott and I were at the Highlands School. He made such a positive impression on all of us. My prayers and thoughts are with you all.

I am deeply saddened by the passing of David as he was one of my older brothers growing up on Fairfield st. as well as all the other Ryan boys. I as well just recently heard of his illness and my condelences go out to his family. David was a Great guy, and he will deeply and sorely missed by all of my family

Dear Mary, Scott ,Erin and the entire Ryan Family,

I want to tell you how saddened I was to hear the news about Dave or as I knew him "coach".

My family and I still laugh about how when I first was coached by him in basketball he called me "quarter pounder" and later as I grew, "Big Mac". His sense of humor was priceless.

He will be missed.
