Mick was a fine human being. Very selfless. He was a devout Catholic, great family man and just a genuine hoot to be around. Tremendously funny. God bless Mick, Jim, Pat and all the Ryan’s.
Peace to all!

Michelle, Larry, Mrs. Ryan and family,
So sorry to hear of your loss. Memories of Mr. Ryan from the days at St. Rays were always fond... a little fearful and intimidating back in 6th grade, but fond none the less. My deep sympathies are with you at this time.

My deepest condolences to the entire Ryan family. Mick was a good person with a kind heart and giving soul. I thoroughly enjoyed talking and conversing with Mick the times I would run into him. He was the Sandy Koufax, a fire-balling left-handed pitcher,of his day in the Joliet Park District fastpitch softball leagues in the 1960s. May you rest in peace Mick, at the right hand of the Father.
