Arthur Ryone Jr. Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Oct. 15, 2024.
Arthur ("Art") H. Ryone, Jr., 73, of Waterford, passed away on Friday, October 11, 2024.

He was the loving husband of Sue Sweet and was predeceased by his first wife, Denise Ryone. Born on July 23, 1951, in Fall River, MA, Art was the son of Agnes and Arthur Ryone Sr.

Art worked at Coca Cola for 45 years, starting in the warehouse and retiring in 2018 as the General Manager. He cherished the lifelong friendships he made with his coworkers and took great joy in his car, motorcycle, and travel adventures with close friends. A man of many passions, Art loved old cars, the Philadelphia Eagles, the beach-especially Siesta Key-and had a special fondness for pandas and manatees. He never turned down an ice cream date and adored spending time with his grandchildren.

In addition to his wife, Art is survived by his brother, Eugene, and his significant other, Sandee; his son, Chris, and wife Shannon; his daughters, Meg and husband Nick, and Molly and husband Ben; and his three precious grandchildren, Sebastien, Mila, and Jude.

A private Celebration of Life will be held at a later date for family.

Good man, a very good man. Wade Smith and I enjoyed his company a lot in classes and hallways at WHS.

The thing that I remember most about Art, was that everytime we met I always ended in a shared laugh. Terrific sense of humor Art had.

My Condolences to Art´s Family. I did not know him personally. Just as a fellow class mate. Very Nice and quiet.

Art was part of our life for more than 50 years. First with Denise, raising Chris and as my big brother's closest friend. We were so happy when he found Sue and enjoyed their retirement to the fullest.
He'll always be with us.
God bless you, Sue. You completed him.

Dear Sue, I´m so sorry about the loss of your beloved Artie. I´m so happy I got to spend Thanksgiving with you and riding around looking at Christmas lights together, and having dinner at your place. He welcomed me right away and I loved him! He had a great sense of humor and he engaged in conversation so easily, I loved how he loved you, it was written all over both your faces. I´m here for you if you need an extra shoulder to lean on. I´m here in Ct . till further notice. Sending you love and hugs my friend . D
