Ken and Becky send our heartfelt condolences to the Ryan Family. Jim was a neighbor and friend for years. Ken always enjoyed talking to him about the behind the scenes workings of the Cap and Verison Centers about the Capitals Hockey Team. So many stories. May God be beside you doing your hours of sorrow. Love to the moon and back:

My sincere condolences go to the family. Deuteronomy 32:7 tells us to Remember the days of old. May special memories of moments spent together bring you comfort as you cope with his loss and may you receive much love and support.
