James C. Ryan, age 76 of Littleton, formerly of Framingham, passed away on Wednesday, August 21, 2019, at Lowell General Hospital.

He was the beloved husband of 55 Years to Carol A. (Caruso) Ryan. Married in 1964, they settled in Framingham to raise their loving family.

Family was the center of his life. He cherished the time with his wife, children, and grandchildren who affectionately referred to him as Grumpy. He frequently went along with his wife and daughters' antics by dressing up as different characters as he loved to put a smile on the family's faces. He was a dedicated Red Sox fan and grateful to see the end of the Curse of the Bambino.

Along with his wife Carol, he is survived by his loving children: Natalie Marsh of Groton and her former husband, Dean Marsh , Michelle Ryan of Texas, and Jim Ryan and his wife Sandi of Marlboro. And grandchildren Christopher, Nicholas, Brandon, Michael, and Hannah.
