Harry M. Ryerson

Harry M. Ryerson, 94, of Jupiter Fl passed away on September 11, 2024. Harry was born the only child to Charles and Anna Ryerson, in Brooklyn, NY. He grew up in Brooklyn, where he went to school, and graduated from Long Island City High School. After graduating from high school, Harry went to work for J.P. Stevens Textile Company as a Systems Analyst. During his employment, he was drafted into the Army where he served in the Korean War. Upon returning from the war, Harry went to work for Shell Oil, as a Systems Analyst and it was during this time he met his future bride, May. And, in April of 1955, they were married. Not long after, they moved to Beechhurst, NY, where they bought their home and started their family. Beechhurst is where they called home and where they would raise their six children. When Shell Oil relocated to Texas, Harry would spend the next few years working for Atlantic Richfield Corporation (ARCO) before going to work for New York City Health & Hospital Corporation, again, as a Systems Analyst. Harry spent the rest of his career with them until retiring, at 55 years old. Harry loved the beach and he and the family were members of the BPOA Beach Club. And when his children had children, they would also spend time at the beach, eating cold cuts, swimming and playing in the sand. Harry was also a sports fan and loved the NY Giants, the NY Jets and the NY Mets. In the early 2000’s, he and May moved to The Shores in Jupiter where they would spend nearly two and a half decades. And, it’s comforting to know that after leaving their home of 47 year, on Riverside Drive, in New York, Harry and May will be spending eternity together on Riverside Drive, in Tequesta, FL. Harry and May had six children, seven grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. Harry was incredibly proud of his family and loved them all! Harry will be greatly missed by his friends and family but we know he is with Nana in Heaven. A Funeral Mass will be held at St. Jude Catholic Church, in Tequesta, on Wednesday, September 18, 2024, at 1:00pm. Burial will, directly, follow the Mass at 2:15pm, at Riverside Memorial Park, in Tequesta, FL.
