My thoughts and prayers go out to the Ryan Family. I work with Patti and met Eugene once and he was the sweetest man. I will never forget sitting in the kitchen eating some of that blueberry pizza pie and talking with him. It was delicious, and he had such a bright smile on his face! I will never forget just that one time meeting him. God Bless and may you rest in peace. ~ Vonch Family
