  My Dearest Grandma Ryan, How sad I was to hear of Grandpa Frank's passing. Although I understood the end was near, it is still difficult to know he is gone. What a loving, caring, devoted man you had for so long. What a blessing you were to him. I am so sorry for your loss. How fortunate I am to have had Frank in my life from the beginning. He was the only grandfather I knew on Mom's side. I had him in my life longer than Pappap. Frank got to see my own children join our family, as he was faithful in attending their baptisms, birthday parties and other family events. He will be fondly remembered and sadly missed by us all. Much love, many hugs, comfort and peace to you, Grandma, Linda Joyce

  Dear Barb and Cindy and family, I am deeply sorry for the loss of your father. I pray that in your memories, you can find comfort and peace. I hope you know what a special and unique role your dad played in the lives of our family over these past 37 years. We adopted him as our "Grandpa Frank," and we were so blessed that we had him for longer than our own grandpas. Although my memories of Frank go back so many many years, my fondest memory will be of last June at Grandma's birthday celebration as he and Grandma sat hand in hand on the patio sharing such precious details and precise memories of the early days of their relationship and first date. As frail as they both were, their deep and abiding love for one another defied the cruelty of age and poor memory as they openly and lovingly and publicly reminisced the days so many years ago when they fell in love. We would each be blessed beyond compare if we can experience such a love and dedication in our lives. Thank you for being a part of our family too for all these years. What on honor it has been to have your dad in our family. May you seek the comfort of the Lord to guide you through your loss, and know that our family is lifting you up in prayer.

  Dear Cindy,Barb,Grandma Ryan, and Mom (Joyce), I am so sorry for your loss. Frank was the only Grandfather I ever truly knew and I treasured the relationship we had. He was a wonderful man to me, my children, my Grandma, and my mom and for that he will be fondly remembered for all my days. We shared a sense of humor reserved for just the 2 of us and many 'inside jokes'. Every holiday will be a bit emptier without him there, and my trips home won't ever be the same, not eating my KFC with Grandpa Frank on the back patio. God Bless Grandpa Frank for the unforgettable 37 years that we were privledged to be a part of his life.

  Barbara, Cindy, Katie, Chris, and Dakota; We are so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers have been with you and will continue to be during this difficult time. I can not thank you enough for sharing your dad/grandpa with us. He has always been a very humble, generous, loving, and opinionated man. For 38 years, I have had the pleasure of having him in my life. No matter where I lived in the country or traveled out of it- I could always come back and be grounded again by spending time with him and my grandmother. He was there throughout my childhood, drove to Pittsburgh during my high school and college waitressing days, a sounding board during my parents divorce, always upfront about the importance of my education, showed me that a relationship is based on friendship and respect, and he was there fully participating in our wedding and in the years to follow down on the floor playing with our children. Even though I was a very small part of his life- he had a great impact on mine. We truly hope that he has found peace and is in his heaven -- on his way to play 18, driving his Cadillac convertible with your mom by his side. With much love and gratitude, Carrie, Berry, Taylor, and Connor Still

  My dear Mommy, Alice Ryan, I know, your great friend and companion Frank has gone on. His adoring years were verbalized recently when he said "she means the world to me". We will miss his ever-presence each and every holiday. How I remember the two of you sitting in our yellow chairs watching the sunsets. For sure, he and Jack have scheduled their tee-off time. Jackie always appreciated the respect, love and kindness Frank exhibited toward you. It was always a toss up between them as to who won your affection more. Dear Barbara and Cindy, your father is a real hero to our family and he will be missed terribly. As Mommy would say, "may your mourning be surrounded by happy memories". Love, Marcy
