Not many have earned a crown in Heaven as much as Ryk has. He & Lorrie were very young when they took on Ryk's brothers, and raised them as their own.
He has endured so much healthwise, with many illnesses that could have easily taken his life. Never heard a complaint. He will be missed by us all.

My mom (Barbara Borylla) and I send our deepest sympathies and love to Lorrie and family. When I was young, Mom and Dad would visit with Ryk and Lorrie occasionally and the younger boys, Bob and Ron and I would play together. Some happy times I remember. I was sorry to see that Ron has passed as well. We're holding you all in our hearts.
