Ryan shared a little over four years with us at Treasure Bay Resort and Marina. It was a total joy to work with him. He taught me so much and was universally loved by colleagues and hotel guests alike. He was at his happiest riding the PSTA buses all over the county and telling us about bowling. The annual wait for the Mike Alstott bowling shirt was a ritual for all of us. Ryan would always tell me who was going to win every playoff series in every sport. He had a unique way to ensure he was always right - he simply changed teams if one lost!

I cannot put into words how sad I am today but I will always have the joy of having known and loved Ryan and I'm just sorry that him being taken from us will deprive many more of that opportunity.

May God bless his family and thank you for sharing him with us.

Taking Ryan to ride the train at Cass Scenic Railroad when he was about 8 years old. When the train was pulling into the station Ryan took off running like he was going to hop on the moving train. Then, the steam whistle blew at about 1000 decibels, freezing Ryan in his tracks and I wondered if he'd get near the train afterward. He did, but not before making friends with the locomotive engineer and getting his approval to touch parts of the engine that didn't look safe to be near. He mimicked the "Gungadee, Gungadee" sound of the train in motion for months after that trip.
