Ryan was a beautiful soul. He was a great friend to my children Richard and Kaimarie Hagenbuch during their school years in West Paris, Maine, and in those memories I recall his love and generosity and how he opened his home to them – unconditionally – as family. He was thoughtful, sensitive and kind and it was a joy to be in his company even when you had to take particular care not to become the brunt of one of his or his mother Tanya’s jokes. They appeared to be an inseparable team and he loved her dearly which brings to mind the tender poem he wrote at her passing in 2008. It was a pleasure to have known Ryan and I’m thankful for delightful memories left behind. May family and friends find peace and comfort in the many memories Ryan made for them. With Deepest Sympathy
