The Exchange Club of Needham is saddened by the loss of Kevin Ryan, who recently passed away after a brief illness.

A Needham Exchange Club member for 40 years, Kevin was a past-President and a key fixture during the 4th of July activities, whether helping out on the evening of the 3rd or directing the flow of the Parade along Highland Avenue. Kevin was also the Club's informal "chorister" leading God Bless America at the beginning of each Club meeting.

He will be dearly missed by family and friends!
