Mary,
Ryland is going to be missed deeply especially at our high school class reunion coming up soon. He always kept us laughing with that dry humor of his and great stories he would tell! I loved listening to him tell of the many black bears and deer that would visit him in his front yard and how he would feed them all. He was a gentle giant with a big heart!
Of course, I'll remember him in his Lancer football uniform on Friday nights running up and down the ACHS field and the girls and I cheering the team on! He always had a good time no matter what he did!
Ryland was one of the good guys and will be missed by all of his friends. He went to soon but his spirit will live on in our hearts forever....

So sorry to hear of Ryland´s passing, we go back a long ways. Mary, remember the weekends we all use to go four wheel riding in the mountains (1975), those were the days. We would run into each other at work and see who could make who laugh the most, always smiling and joking around. Will keep you and Katie in our prayer, God bless you both.

I always considered Ryland a true Friend. Ryland was an Excellent BWXT EMPLOYEE. Ryland knew when to joke and have fun but he also knew when to become focused and be serious. He loved golf. Katie, Ryland and I had many very postive converstion about you. My thoughts and prayers as you'll go about dealing with Ryland's Passing.
