His name was Howard Ryan. He retired as police chief after 20 years, then retired from the railroad after another 20. He took in another uncles two daughters when then were very young, due to alcoholism, and raised them as his own. He was a good man and will be sorely missed.

    Your testimonial showes the lost of a great man! Heartfelt condolences to you and family. Your consolation is that you know that he is now in the hands of his great father.
