The obituary notice of Chris RYAN

Chris Ryan, a legend who did so much for others. We miss him at our Wednesday lunches, he always had a smile and a witty comment. My outstanding memory was being at Trent Bridge with Chris and others watching Stuart Broad destroying Australia before lunch. Well, we were watching but Chris, wearing his usual sun hat, was immersed in the Daily Telegraph obituaries! In recent times Chris has kept me going through dark days, even though he was suffering himself. Goodbye my friend.

My dear friend Chris.
What can I say? Such a lovely guy, with a wry sense of humour, an encyclopeadic knowledge of medicine, a strong family man. A man who was also gifted with an ear for the Irish lilting tunes & airs, sadly belied by his rendition of the same. A man blessed with one of the best drives of a ball off a golfing tee that you would ever have seen. It is such a pity that the rest of his game was, in his own words, "a disaster!".
I dearly miss him.
God rest.
Andrew Kelly.
