4. Garry and I were very sorry to hear of Bill’s passing, and we send our condolences to his family. Our children have fond memories from their younger days of visits to Tarrone and of being in awe of the older Bill with his remote control planes and boats, and his stories, which he was happy to share with them. He was much loved and will be missed by us all and the extended Ryan family cousins.
