Neal Thomas Ryan

Neal Thomas Ryan, age 77 of Bethel Park, passed away peacefully at home after a long, courageous battle with cancer. Loving husband of 37 years to Mary Sue (Tierney) Ryan. Son of the late Cornelius Thomas (C.T.) and Mary C. Ryan. Baby brother of Mary Ann (Ryan) Stehle. Beloved uncle of Marla (D.J.), Kevin, Megan, Victoria, and Kaitlyn. Also survived by many cherished cousins and friends. He is preceded in death by a brother-in-law, Glenn “Art” Stehle and mother in law Estelle “Sis” Tierney.  A proud graduate of Duquesne University, Neal then worked for Consol for 31 years. As a lifelong Pirates fan, he often enjoyed working at the games during his retirement. One of his favorite memories was attending Game 7 of the 1960 World Series with his dad. Known for his sense of humor and wit, Neal was always a great person to have next to you at an event or as a partner for a round of golf. With apologies to Ray Romano, “everybody loved Nealie”.  Family and friends are welcome Friday, June 21, 2024 from 5-8 PM at FREYVOGEL-SLATER FUNERAL DIRECTORS, 112 Fort Couch Rd., Bethel Park, (Opposite Macy’s South Hills Village) 15241.
