Edward Ryan was a wonderful man and a friendly neighbor that everyone likedfull of spirit and kindness. He was a terrific loving father of four children (with five grandchildren). Ed was at his "very best" at being a devoted husband to his wife, Janie, for over 30 years. He took great pleasure going outside and working in his yard and garden throughout the year. Ed especially loved his roses.
Edward Ryan's family background is Irish Catholic. Ed always believed in looking at the "happy times in life" and not the sad times. In keeping with the positive way that Ed led his life, the Ryan family will honor Ed with a celebration of his life in the near future.
