I can't believe you're really gone. I hope you know how loved you were. Our home will never be the same, it's much too quiet and I'm sad I won't be able to see you grow old. Your memory will live on within me and all the lives you touched.
Till we meet again
Love,
Nicole

My husband and I were Sudbury Farms Randolph regulars....Today I received the saddest news from another Roche Bros. employee that Ryan has passed away. Please accept our deepest sympathies...your son Ryan was one of our deli favorites...ALWAYS warm and welcoming, such a wonderful personality and we were so thrilled for him when he chose to go back to school to better his future.
Praying for the Connolly family and his girlfriend Chelsea to help you find peace and strength thru this terrible tragedy. Ryan will be truly missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.
