    For those who know him, pass along all these condolences and prayer offers. And, mine, too.

    So sad.

    He's my favorite person in this business.

    I feel so insignificant.

    This is awful news. My thoughts are with Bob in this time of great loss. I've ran into Jackie and Dan over at the Globe, but haven't met Bob...but by all accounts a great guy, if you know him please send the word that he has countless people praying for him and his family.

    Holy mother of god.

    Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace;
    where there is hatred, let me sow love;
    where there is injury, pardon;
    where there is doubt, faith;
    where there is despair, hope;
    where there is darkness, light;
    and where there is sadness, joy.

    O Divine Master,
    grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
    to be understood, as to understand;
    to be loved, as to love;
    for it is in giving that we receive,
    it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
    and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.

    Amen.

    How horrible, how tragic, how sad. Being someone who's been through it, I can only tell you that his word, "devastated," is absolutely accurate. My thoughts and prayers go out to the Ryan family and anyone else who has experienced anything like it.

    There are few greater tragedies than a parent having to bury a child.
    Prayers and condolences to Bob and his family.
    Bob was a guy who could easily be a "big timer" but never was. Always enjoyed bumping into him and learning what out-of-the-way college hoops venue he planned on visiting or had just visited.
    Take a moment, folks, to remember your loved ones and count your blessings.

    I've never met Bob, but that doesn't matter. This is a tragedy regardless.

    May the Ryans find peace in their memories and love and each other. My best.
