Ryan Gottainer

Ryan was a dear friend of mine in College and after during my years in Chicago before I moved away. I am very sad about this. Ryan was a great kid, a hilarious comic, and a great friend. Tears come to my eyes and I feel very sad. I wish his family well and hope they are coping with this devastating event as best as possible.

Dear Florrie, I was so sorry to hear of your terrible loss.Please accept my deepest sympathies. i am thinking of you and your family at this time and please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Joe and Florrie, We are so sorry to hear of your terrible loss. Ginna (Sarnataro) and David Zoellner

To Liz and to the entire Gottainer and extended family -
My deepest sympathies for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you, and I am sending you wishes for strength and healing during this terribly sad time.

Dear Friend Joe and family;

Words cannot express the shock and sorrow Karen and I have for you all. Karen lost her 18 year old son 20 years ago, and it is never forgotten, and only a little easier as time goes by. It is your faith only that comforts you knowing that he is in a good place and you shall rejoin him in eternity. Cherish your good memories of Ryan, and cherish all the good moments with the rest of your family. Jerry and Karen Sarnataro, Fallbrook, CA

My family and I were so sorry to hear of Ryan’s passing. I personally have many fond memories of Ryan from when we were kids. As others have mentioned here, he had a great sense of humor and it was just fun to be around him. Our thoughts are with all of you at this very difficult time.

I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with your family during this very difficult time.
