Nicholas “Nick” Joseph Ryall
December 23, 1950 – February 20, 2019
It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Nicholas Joseph Ryall of Dartmouth NS to be with his Lord and Savior.
Nick was the second child of the late James Francis Ryall (Frank) and is survived by his mother Gladys Elizabeth Ryall (Dinn).
Nick was a die-hard Toronto Maple Leafs fan to the point of obsession. He was also an accomplished guitarist and singer, and lent his talents to many groups, including the choir at St. Andrews Church, which included many entertaining Saint Patrick’s Day events, Dinner Theaters and his Christian band Agents of the Lamb. He was involved with the Knights of Columbus, The Buffalo Lodge 8686 in Eastern Passage. He also loved curling and was a member of the Dartmouth Curling Club. His faith in The Lord was strong, and he and his wife Susan were involved with Community Bible Studies.
Following in his father’s footsteps, he chose to be an Electrician by trade, completing his career with the Federal Government with DND at CFB Shearwater, retiring in 2012 after 30+ years of service.
Nick is survived by his wife Susan (Manley), sons Patrick, Michael (Lia) (Linda Ryall (Atkinson)), grandson Hayden and extended family Keith (Kim), David (Lori), Cody, Damian, Kiley and Burke.
Nick is also survived by brothers Frank, Noel (Joan), Sam, Leo (Cherie), David, Doug (Cathy) & Sean (Danielle) and sisters Lorraine (Laurie), Valerie (Les), Debbie (Foster), Lori (Mike), Mary (Karl), Mercedes, Michele, Jackie (Rod) & Tracey (Darren) all residing in Nova Scotia and Sister Gail residing in Ontario.
He was loved and adored by all his Nieces, Nephews, Great-Nieces and Great-Nephews. Nick & Susan hosted THE BEST Canada Day celebrations and he was the host with the most!
