Tribute to #19

Gloucester City High School retired jersey #19 on Sept. 22nd, 2007.

Marc Ryan sacrificed his life in service to his country.

He was also a great example on-the-field. He displayed great sportsmanship. If he tackled you, he would help you up after the play.

He was also a "mudder". He played great on wet fields. I have said for years that Gloucester played great on rainy days and he was a primary reason for my statements.

Here's to Marc Ryan. South Jersey Football and our nation are honored to have been lucky enough to have you. I feel honored just to have watched you play.
