Thomas Gerald Ryan

Tom was born March 28, 1952 in Newton, New Jersey to parents Gerald Thomas & Stella H. Ryan.  Tom passed away unexpectedly on August 19, 2024.  He is preceded in death by his parents and nephew Dan Giordano.  Tom is survived by his wife Marty of 39 years, step-son Tony Wilson, sisters Christine Hansler, Mary Anne Wilmouth and brother-in-law William Wilmouth as well as nieces, nephews and cousins.  Tom was a wonderful, loving and caring man who would help do anything he could for family and friends.  When younger, he enjoyed golf, fishing, photography and sports.  Tom developed a love for photography.  He captured wildlife-especially birds of prey.  He also had a passion for music with his collection of vinyl records and there wasn't a military plane he couldn't name.  Tom was also an avid fan of the New York Yankees and the U of A Wildcats.  His love of animals includes our two Gold Retrievers Zoey and Milo plus four cats.  Tom owned his own pool business for 35 years and retired two years ago to pursue our new hobby the antique mall.  I would tell Tom “I love you” and he responded “I love you more”.  He will be missed, life won't be the same without him.  A memorial service will be held on Friday October 4, 2024 at 2:00 pm at Bring's Broadway Chapel 6910 East Broadway Blvd.
