Remembering the life of

Billy (William) Ryan

Glen Road, Tramore, Waterford.

Family and friends remember Billy Ryan as a kind and gentle soul whose warmth touched everyone he met. A devoted husband to Margaret and a loving father to Carly, Thomas, William, and Mary, Billy’s greatest joy was his family. He cherished his grandchildren, finding immense pride in their accomplishments and delight in their company. Billy’s dedication to his family was unwavering, and his gentle nature made him a beloved figure in their lives.​

Beyond his family, Billy was known for his exceptional baking skills, particularly his renowned brown bread and apple tarts. His creations were a staple in our community, and many of us will fondly recall the delicious aroma that accompanied his presence. A true gentleman, Billy’s friendly demeanor and willingness to share a chat endeared him to all. His legacy of kindness, culinary talent, and devotion to family and friends will be cherished by all who had the privilege of knowing him. Now reunited with his beloved daughter Trina, Billy’s gentle soul rests in peace.
