Send condolences RYAN TIMOTHY B. Of Barberton, OH and Ocala, FL, died in OH from COPD complications on May 23, 2015. Born August 31, 1949, in Pittsburgh, PA to the late Bernard P. Ryan and Dorothy Koontz Ryan, Tim graduated from St. Gabriel Elementary, St.

Elizabeth High, and the University of Dayton. He was part owner of Lateral Connection Corp. in the US and Canada. Tim was a true gadabout until he brought his father back east from NV. Tim was a raconteur, political pundit, voracious reader, jigsaw puzzle enthusiast, a talented swimmer and, to the consternation of his OH contingent, an avid Steelers fan.

Upon arriving in OH in 2005, his amateur tennis "career" turned into five card stud, Texas hold'em and billiards. Tim enjoyed the casinos, but not as much as his father, Barney! Tim was a big man with a heart that grew to twice its size. He was especially fond of his sisters, Kathleen Ryan (Michael) Stull, Akron, OH, Patricia Ryan, Pittsburgh, and Mary Dee Ryan (Patrick) Burns, Verona, PA; he is also survived by his aunt, Eileen Mangold, NJ; and numerous cousins, friends and work associates. And oh how he loved his nieces and nephews, the firsts and the greats! The firsts are his godchild, Melissa (Brodie Remington) Stull, Aaron (Alicia) Stull, Courtney Stull, Ryan (Lauren) Stull and Brenna Burns; and Tim adored the little Seth, Aidan, Colin, Trenton, Henry, Lincoln, Andrew, Cameron, and, finally, a girl, Abigail. They all remember the barbecues, fireworks, sitting on the big Harley, swimming at his condo or the house in FL, and Tim dispensing Halloween candy, never leaving for FL until his beggars' night duties were completed.

But the most fun for all was the simplest the large money jar that, when spun hard enough, would spit out numerous coins on each turn. Tim requested no formalities; he only wished to be remembered the way he was when he laughed and loved us all. A Celebration of Life will be held June 20, 2015, at Conrad Botzum Farmstead in Akron, OH from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. for family, friends and associates. Please remember Tim with a random act of kindness and an extra piece of candy on Halloween night!
