I send my prayers and condolences to the family of Mr. Ryans. Mr. Ryans was a coworker of mine when I worked at the Killian Hub in RSD2. Great man, always made sure he speak to you and made sure you were good. My first day at the hub I remember him and Mr. Clemmons told me to not let these kids get to you. Call the administrator and get them off your bus, lol. I appreciate all of the kind words and advice while driving for RSD2. Rest in Heaven Mr. Ryans, you will be missed. 🙏🏿🙏🏿
We are praying
for the Ryan Family. We are asking God to wrap his loving arms of protection around you. May God give you strength and comfort. Remember Robert Jr.’s gentle and caring nature. Remember his beautiful smile. Remember his love for you.
