Jim Ryan

I was sorry to read about the death of Jim Ryan. We called him Jimmy and he was our neighbor back in the 70's. I vividly remember one week when the family was away and we were "watching" Jimmy who was a young teen. The first day the family was away, he kept to himself in his own home next door. That soon grew old and he moved right in with us and didn't miss a meal. We enjoyed having him with us. At that time our daughter was a toddler and Jimmy got the idea to pull her up and down the stairs...

Jim, was a great friend and a wonderful human being. He was truly brave in his battle against cancer. Jim walked light upon this earth and left his friends with many smiles. I know he is somewhere in the mountains fishing by a river with endless speckled trout,
