Gail I just heard about Ryan. I am shocked. I've known him since he was a little boy playing with Chris. I have never ever known a mother and son to have the closeness that you and he did as he grew up. I can only imagine the devastation you are all feeling. All my love, thoughts and prayers

My condolences to Ryan's wife, children and the rest of the family. I had the pleasure of working with Ryan at State Street, and he seemed to always have a sly grin on his face as if he knew something that you didn't, as if he knew the punch line to life's inner workings. If he wasn't making someone laugh, he was making you smile. He will be sorely missed.
