All my prayer and thoughts go out to all of his family in their time of sorrow. It is hard to lose a father (or grandfather), but he lives on in the memories of his family. I didn't know Melvin Ryan, but if he is anything like his son, Gary, he was a stellar man. Again, my condolences for your loss. - Barbara Cowles (9/10/2014)
Becky, though I didn't know your grandpa, I do know how much he meant to you and that alone tells me that he was a wonderful man. I wish I could be there in person to pay my respects and to support you, but please know that I am thinking of you and sending love and prayers.
We will miss Mel so very much. I feel like I did when my father passed away, as I have known him for such a very long time and always felt like he was part of our family. Our prayers are with all of you at this time, and know that he is now in our Fathers home in Heaven with family and friends there. We will miss him and his smile and all the wonderful other joys he brought to so many. Sincerely, The Durante Family--John, Dena, John and Sara and Betty Saathoff.
