  • Name James Arthur RYAN  [2, 3
    • Our father lived a long life. He's sadly missed by all his remaining children. He and our mother, Florence Blakney-Ryan, had 12 children together. They were childhood friends and sweethearts and still are together in Heaven. He was born on St Valentine's Day and they were married on that same date. Our father drove for GreyHound Buses. He also was a truck driver for many years. I wish there were more men around now like him. He was patriotic, strong and didn't stand for any crap. He was "Life With Father" to a tee. *(The movie) He owned the best of cars too. Like all his Chrysler Imperials and such. We always had food and clothing even with all of us children to take care of. He was a wonderful provider and a "real" man. Hard to find one like him today. If he and many others like him were around today the nation would be in better shape. God, please, take good care of our beloved and sadly missed father. Amen [1]
