Ryan worked in the family business, Fochtman Bros., from the time he graduated from Berlin Brothersvalley High School. As a child, Ryan spent countless days at his aunt Carol Murphy’s playing with his cousins. He was an avid sports fan, particularly football. He spent many Sundays watching the Pittsburgh Steelers with his dad and his uncles. Ryan also enjoyed dinners and holidays with his family. One favorite past time was throwing horse shoes with his dad. He was always up for a board game or playing cards. Most of all, Ryan loved a good joke and making people laugh with his unique humor.
