MR RYAN GAVE ME THE BEST ADVICE I EVER LISTEN TO AND IF I DIDN'T LISTEN TO HIM, I KNOW I WOULD NOT BE ALIVE.
I WENT TO THE HOUSE TO VISIT PUPPY AND AS I WALKED INTO THE KITCHEN I WAS GREETED TO MY USUAL WARM WELCOME FROM ELLIE MAY "ARE YOU HERE AGAIN, YOU BIG GALLOOT". MR RYAN WAS SITTING AT THE TABLE. ELLIE KEPT COOKING AND HER NEXT COMMENT WAS "WHY DO YOU ALWAYS SHOW UP AT MEAL TIME?" I SAID "WELL, IT CERTAINLY ISN'T BECAUSE OF YOUR COOKING!" MR RYAN LOOKED AT ME AS HE WAS GETTING UP FROM THE TABLE AND CALMLY SAID TOO ME "RUN" AS HE TRIED TO GET TO ELLIE MAY BEFORE SHE GOT TO ME..
JUST REMEMBER THE GOOD TIMES! ONLY THE GOOD TIMES!

A story of Gerv I posted yesterday that Kevin asked me to re-post; although I filled in some details.
Back in the day (pre-Apple Computers, pre-Star Wars, just after the first NHL expansion and before Woodstock; or so I recall), Joel and I usually spent a week or two every summer at the "farm" courtesy of Eleanor, Gerv and the five boys. As if Eleanor and Gerv didn't have enough of their own maniacs to look after, they willingly added two more putting 7 of us in the same bedroom. We laughed, joked and pranked until the wee hours while Gerv, the one-eyed sleeper, guarded the door making sure we never could sneak out. It was absolutely bonkers and unbelievably fun! Anyway, one day, after swimming at the brook, we decided we were going to play on the roof of the shed behind the house. Before we went up Eleanor warned us not to play on the roof in our bare feet. Imagine parents of today, not, "don't play on the roof", just, "don't go up there with bare feet!" Of course, I didn't listen and I sliced open my foot with a pretty big cut. So I climbed down and went in the house to have Eleanor fix my foot. Eleanor was a bit steamed making sure she poured extra iodine on the cut to both clean the cut and teach me a lesson. And yes, I admit, I cried. So after wrapping up my foot and watching me put shoes on, Eleanor made me a sandwich, poured me a glass of milk and then hugged me for about a half hour to make me feel better. When I went back outside, the boys were nowhere to be found. I limped around looking for them but they were gone. I moped about for a while, feeling pretty sorry for myself and very, very sad. Gerv was sitting on a bench at the back of the house working on something while drinking a pop and listening to CKBY country. "What's wrong Pete", Gerv asked me seeing me walking around with my lip on the ground? "I can't find the boys", I responded. "Oh, I think they all went down to Jimmy's. Maybe you can sit on the bench with me. I need a helper", Gerv took me under his wing pulling me close. I can still smell the farm, that dry earth on that hot, sunny day and Gerv sitting beside me. I sat with him for a long time feeling pretty content when Roger Miller came on the radio singing "King of the Road". Gerv started singing and I soon joined in singing along with all the CKBY favourites. We were singing at the top of our lungs when Ellie shouted out the window that all the racket we were making was driving her crazy. "Eleanor, oh Ellie", winking at me Gerv sang back to her. "You should count yourself lucky to have two "stars" singing for you." Then he started laughing and told me to sing louder. That was Gerv. Always full of mischief, fun and music with a heart big enough for every stray kid who wandered by. This memory stands out as one of the best of my entire life. I loved Gerv and Eleanor...I always will.

When I was a kid, on Saturday mornings we would sit in front of the TV watching cartoons. So one time, I was 13 or 14, I was lying on my stomach on the floor and I gave my sister Maureen 25 cents to walk on my back. It was a great massage! Anyway, the same Saturday morning, Gerv came in for coffee/tea with my Mum, as he usually did in his travels. Mum was in the basement when Gerv arrived (he always came in without knocking as we were all so close). He didn't see my Mum so he came into the living room where we were watching cartoons. "Peter", he said, when he saw Maureen walking on my back, "what are you doing?" "Getting a great massage, Gerv", I responded. "How much?" he asked. "25 cents", said Maureen the wheeler dealer (note to young'uns: in those days 25 cents could buy a bag of chips and a pop). So Gerv gave Maureen a quarter, lay down beside me and Maureen walked over both of our backs. Then Mum came back upstairs and saw Maureen walking on our backs. "Gerv", she shouted, surprised at seeing him lying on the floor, "what are you doing?" "Just getting a massage, Alice", Gerv responded cool as a cucumber as if it was normal and perfectly understandable, "just getting a massage".

On behalf of the MacFarlane family, may we offer our sincere sympathy to all the Ryan family on the loss of Gervais. Our family has fond memories of Gervais and our father discussing hockey after mass each Sunday and ribbing each other about the performance of their favourite teams - always in good humour but never wavering with their loyalty. Gervais was a Pakenham icon and will be missed by the entire community, especially the parish of St. Peter Celestine church. Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Ryan family at this time.

Gerv was a great uncle, husband, father, brother and son. He had great taste in music and cars. I've uploaded a picture of Gerv, his cool convertible, and some of the younger Ryan lads. The picture was taken by his brother Pat circa 1969. Not sure if that's Pat's or Gerv's stubby on the hood! Great memories. Enjoy heaven Gervie!

To Kevin,Danny,Larry and Chris What a wonderful picture of your Dad. He was a great guy - always with a warm hello and a warmer smile. He will certainly be missed by all of his family, and by so many of his longtime friends,relatives and neighbours.His great love and talent in both music and sports, something he passed onto each of his kids,is one of the many things I will fondly remember of your dad. He was one of the nicest fellows you could ever meet. He is at rest now with your Mom and Terry. I am sure Terry will keep him just as occupied in heaven as he did here on earth! My deepest condolences to each of you and to all of Gervais brothers and sisters on the passing and loss of a really great guy. Sincerely, Allan and Bonnie Ryan
