Rigby Harting and Hagan Funeral Home - Media Obituary

1952-2021 Stephen Hugh “Bogey” Ryan, 68, of Wallingford, PA, passed away peacefully in his home on June 19th, 2021. Born in Chester, PA, Bogey’s larger than life personality was felt and heard by all who had the pleasure of knowing him. A graduate of Chester High School and Widener University. He was self-employed and owner of Bogey’s Printables. Bogey lived life to the fullest and would sing his way into anyone’s heart. He was a teller of stories, who had a voice of an angel. He had the ability to capture a room with his presence and make anyone around him a friend. He was a Delaware County Hall of Fame inductee, an amazing baseball and basketball player, avid golf player, member at Springhaven Club for 30 years, and overall phenomenal athlete. He was drafted and played minor league baseball for the San Francisco Giants following his graduation from Widener University. Anyone who knew Bogey knew his love for traveling to his favorite place on Earth…Ireland. He visited 48 times over the span of 20+ years. It was there he made his mark as serving as the Grand Marshall of the St. Patrick’s Day parades for more than a decade. Most importantly, Bogey’s unwavering love for his wife, his cherished dogs George, Harold, Hughie, and Gert, and the bond he shared with his daughter, was undeniable. They were his world, and he will continue to be that for them. Preceded in death by his father, John “Snapper” Ryan, and mother, Dorothy Blizzard Ryan. He is survived by his wife, Ann Marie “Tootie” Ryan, and his daughter, Katie Ryan. His sister, Cheryl Pompilii (Sonny).

Not sure what to say?

I knew Steve since Stetser Elementary , Smedley Junior High School, and Chester High School. He was witty and funny. He was a friend to anyone who knew him. He and Fred Chazin were like 2 peas in a pod. They were like a comedy team. Steve was on the baseball team at CHS. He excelled in this extra- curricular activity. He and Tootie were high school sweethearts. She attended Notre Dame in Moylan. I was introduced to her when she came to visit one day at the high school....

What a great guy, teammate and friend. Steve always had a smile on his face and had a way of making you feel the same. It was my previlege to be his teammate on CHS baseball and soccer teams. RIP my friend and condolences to the Ryan Family.

Oh man, I was so lucky to have crossed Stephens path in our " glory days " with Tinicum AC!! I loved the man. He came back from the minors with a SF Giants batting helmet. So cool. Sad that he's gone, whew, but what a life well lived.

So very sorry to learn of Steve's passing.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

RIP old friend. We will catch up again one day.

I will truly miss you, Bogey; your stories, your songs, and your joy for living. We will drink a toast every Memorial Day weekend at the Angelina to you.
