John Louis Ryder

To Lain, Reagan, and Nancy Kate, I just found out the news and it's wrecked me. I had the privilege of knowing John not just as a fellow congregant at Redeemer Lutheran as a child, but also as a political adversary as an adult. Not to put too fine a point on it, but he whipped my butt both times, metaphorically speaking of course. I always found him to be a worthy foe, even when I wasn't up to the challenge.

Lain and family, I was saddened to hear of the loss of your husband and my friend, John. My sincere apologies for not responding earlier, but I am just now learning of his passing.

To Lain, Pat, Peggy, and families, I am so sorry to hear of John's death.

John's storied career and multiple interests reflect a life of...

Although we were sometimes on opposite sides of the political fence, I regarded John as a friend as well as a highly respected colleague. I extend my sincere condolences to his family and colleagues.

He was a true patriot. Please accept my heartfelt condolences. Peter Feaman, RPOF National Committeeman
