Another Approach at Restaurant 15-20 years ago



Stephen Ryan, our wives and I went to a 24-hr diner. Stephen was excellent teaching the waitress how to communicate with us at 2AM. A lot of fun and memories.

Stephen Ryan from New Jersey passed away in Dec 1996 or 1997.

We only know ONE Stephen Ryan who was a DEAF comedian.

A message from Stephen Ryan from Hell.

Beware:

I got a heart attack from eating too much Steve Kittell's trash stories.

please do not attend aslexpo. James Steve Kittell the scammer owns this business. He ripped off many people by stealing credit card information. Don't go there no matter how good it is or not.

Judge,

How old was he when he died? From what cause?

Judge said...

Stephen died due to massive heart attack. He was 37.

He is sorely missed by the Deaf community! Of course, families too!

Stephen Ryan was my mentor when it comes to teaching ASL in classroom. He passed away, way too early, on December 15, 1995. That was more than 11 years ago. Time flies too damn fast...

Always think of him and his family.
Thanks for sharing a story about Stephen, Judge. :)

I did not see your vlog something that I missed it.

I know Stephen Ryan used to lives in Seattle back in 1980's. I keep wonder how is his wife, Lauren.. I have not seen her ,either.
Of course, it is hard on Seattle Deaf people knew him well. Someting we wish he still alive. He is too young to have massive heart attack, too. His children were too small to remeber.
