I have so many great and fond memories of Ivan.He was a very supportive director at the D.S.I.S.D.
Teaching under his direction was a pleasnt experience most of the time. At times he could be a hard task master, but always a friend.
Our sympathy to Jeannie and family, Cliff and Jan Olsson

Ivan’s Mother was 100% Finnish his Dad was 100% Irish. Ivan was thoughtful,reserved, polite, yet frisky, spontaneous, witty and wise. Most of his career was in Jobs training for High School youth and Adults. His knowledge and wisdom and his “Sisu” made him an excellent, efficient and trusted administrator. A longtime member of the “Leaders Of Vocational Education In The Upper Peninsula’, aka LOVE IT UP, many innovative and exemplary training programs were developed at RYANWOOD, his Castle near Skanee…on Lake Superior. All who knew and/or worked with him will cherish wonderful memories of IVAN RUFUS RYAN.

Thinking of you all today as you gather for Ivan’s funeral service, and sending my deepest sympathies.Dan and Mike – having fond memories of your Dad make me smile, particularly the childhood vacation times spent at Skanee. He afforded us great times together and I will always hold those dear to my heart.
