Tim Ryan

I met Tim in 1988, and grew to know him well starting in 1989 while we were in symphonic band. He was a talented drummer; I think the best at West High during his time there. We were also in the basketball pep band together, and I remember many a night that a bunch of us (Him, Amy, Ben, and others) piled into a booth at Colonial Restaurant after a game and ate French fries. He, Amy, and I usually shared a large plate full. I remember these times fondly. The fun we had talking and goofing around, I will always remember. He loved playing the drums, everywhere. With his practice putty in his pocket and his drumsticks in hand, he was constantly prepared for a chance to practice. He often played on the lunch table as a few of us in a panic finished our physics homework. He was a great friend who was always there for people. He was a great support during rough times, and could always get a smile to appear on my face.

What I think I'll miss most is his goofy smile and hearty laugh that could brighten anyone's day.
Sorry, the picture is currently unavailable......
This picture was taken while we were on the 1990 Toronto, Canada band trip. Here, Tim and I were joking around during dinner. Poor Kendra was the center of our attention. She never knew I took this picture. Later that same night, Tim and I started playing with our water glasses to make b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l m-u-s-i-c,
and by the time we were done, we had a room of at more than 300 high schoolers from our and other high schools doing it, too!
