Robert L. "Tod" Ryan Sr.

The Halpin family was so very saddened by the news of Toddy's passing. Such a wonderful Irish gentleman! With countless great memories of the Big Dogs - Toddy & Joanie, Tom (T-Bo) & Marie, Don & Sue, Clara & Erol and our parents, I expect a trumpet blasting welcomed Toddy home. Our prayers are with you all in you in your grief and our lives are brighter for having known this lovely man. In sympathy, ~The Halpins

Toddy was beloved by countless people. There will be a hush over Glass Lake this season, but in that we will feel his mighty spirit. Billy and I, and my parents too, send our deepest love and prayers to Joan, Beth, Anne, T, Bobby, Clare and Steve, and to all of the beautiful Ryan family.

I am very sorry to hear of Mr. Ryan's passing. I had the privilege of meeting Mr. Ryan several years ago at one of La Salle Institute's reunion activities. Mr. Ryan told me a story that I have since shared with many people about his USMC boot camp experience and how the Christian Brothers' teaching methods well prepared him for the challenges of becoming A US Marine.

My prayers and condolences are with you.

Dear Joan and Family,
My heart broke this morning when I heard that Tod had passed. He was such a delightful person. I have so many fond memories of those twinkling eyes and that mischievous smile. Please know that all of the Ramroth's are keeping you are in our thoughts and prayers.

The Ramroth family is so very sorry to hear this news. Tod and Joan have been a steady presence in our lives throughout the years. The Ryan's were our parents most cherished friends! Tod was smart, kind and had an unmatched wit! I'm sure he and Don are resuming there story telling as I write this. Our deepest sympathies to Joanie and the whole Ryan family at this difficult time. He was so proud of all of you. Our loss and Heavens gain.
