Michael "Big Mike" Ryman

I loved Mike, He and I grew up in the I&R dept in Kirkland and went thru all the depts together and would up as suppervisors. We went fishing together, we rved at Mike's place in Port Townsend, played golf and drank some fancy wiskeys together. RIP my friend and I will see you on the other side.

Rest in peace Mike. You were a joy to work with during my time with NSC.

Mike "Ryman Simon" you will truly be missed! My memories of you from the first day I started with General Telephone in January of 1978 are good ones.. you were always such a great guy to be around. You made us all feel better about life...Rest in Peace.

Mike, you were a true friend & I will always cherish our friendship.You were definitely the best of the best, always there to lend a hand. So many great memories! I will miss you every day! Di

I am so sorry to hear the news. When I was an intern at GTE Mike took me under his wing. I will always remember looking out for deadheads when you let me take the helm on the boat ride over to Friday Harbor for the Jazz Festival. I am sorry that we lost touch and I did not have a chance to say "thank you" for being a great friend so many years ago.

Mike I met you when you first started at GTE. We all had such fun at Halls Lake and I am thankful to you for coming through my life.

Mike you were always an inspiration to me. The weekend at Friday Harbor so many years ago was a life saver for me. You will be missed a great deal.

What a beautiful tribute to a wonderful friend! Mike always took such great care of his friends and family. One of the most thoughtful people I have ever had the chance to know! Miss You so much!!

I have fond memories of knowing Mike through a special friendship with his mother, Joyce. He was always so good to her! A great big brother, too. I enjoyed his happy, friendly personality. I know he will be missed deeply by everyone.
Sending sympathy especially to Anne, Lori and Jodi. but also to the rest of the family. Carol Mohn

Miss my friend so much. I am blessed to have known him and call him a friend. Mike always made people laugh and smile. Cindy and Mikes Family my thoughts are with you I know your hearts are broken remember all the good times. Rest in peace my friend.

Mike's obituary rings true when it speaks to his friendliness. I'm happy to read of his cooking talents and his kindness to friends and animals. A missed opportunity to taste his cooking by many who have lost contact with him. Please accept my sincerest condolences to you all who hold warm memories of Mike. May he rest in peace.

Mike you I and had the best times in our boats. Sorry that I lost contact with you.
