“I may be unique to the Board of Directors in that, unfortunately, I never met Ryan. I first met Megan, Don, and Nancy when they requested some police advice or small assistance in escorting Ryan from New Hampshire to Arlington. I had the incredible honor of being named Ryan’s family liaison by the Town of Hudson to help provide support, security and additional logistical assistance for his services. While getting to know Ryan’s wonderful family - Megan, Don, Nancy, Christina and additionally Ryan’s closest friends like Dan Garrison, I feel like I have always known Ryan, and what a great person he was in life. I was thrilled when asked to be part of this organization in memory of Captain Ryan Phaneuf.”
