Joe Ryan
Joseph William Ryan March 10, 1955 – January 23, 2014
Joe was an OBSESSED fisherman and hunter. He loved fishing the high mountain lakes, streams, creeks, rivers, ponds, etc. Leaving Superior one day, he was looking for fish in the city lagoon pond and realized he was out of control! He loved playing pool, foosball, horseshoes, hiking, camping, nickel pinball, gambling machines and keno.
Joe was instrumental in getting the city to put in handicapped corners and crosswalks.
He would go to the bridge downtown and shovel the snow, just because. Many people thought he was doing community service, etc. He was just a nice man!!
“Like my old friend John Anderson, I think we (Town of Superior) should do a bench or something to remember JOEY RYAN.”
The son of Mary Ellen and Pat Ryan.
A brother his whole life to Richard, Keith and sister Erin. A father to many kids, yet none of his own. Travis and Lisa Johnson, Kevin and Cami Smith.
An uncle to Robert and Jesse, a friend to all.
He was preceded in death by mother Mary Ellen and nephew Jesse James,
Services will be held March 20th at 11 am at the Superior Assembly of God, Rick Lewis, Pastor
