Jack will be missed. He was my scuba instructor in 1971 and I am still diving. Our World Underwater and Rockford Divers Association kept him busy. Jack will be missed.

Thoughts and prayers to the Ryan Family. Jack taught my skindiving class in 1971 then onto Scuba training with Jack in 73. What a great sport and great instructor. Many memories of Jack, Scuba diving, The Rockford Divers Association and Our World Underewater. Thanks Jack for making scuba part of my life and career.

Jack was a great friend. We rode motorcycle together for many of miles. I will never forget a trip we took (Jack Led) up to the Mustard Museum in Mt Horeb. When we left to return home, some of us got caught at a red light. Jack went on ahead and never looked back. Therefore we nicknamed him "Don't look back Jack" May he rest in peace.

Rockford area just lost another good guy. Jack did a lot for local Soccer and the AYSO program. He opened up the first Soccer only store in Rockford called the corner kick soccer store. I am glad to have been a part of their family in the early 80's. Jack did a soccer shoe collection for needy children in the Rockford area that resulted in extra shoes being sent over seas. Jack Ryan a good guy who will be missed.
