Ryan & Ryan Insurance Brokers Agency Inc. Client of the Month for March

Longtime insureds Bob and Arleen Nanz are Ryan & Ryan Insurance Brokers’ Customers of the Month for March.  Both Kingston locals, Bob Nanz served in Vietnam in A Company 4/503rd 173rd Airborne and is retired from Eastman Kodak after a 39 year career.  Arleen works for Beltone Hearing Aids as their bookkeeper. Bob and Arleen’s relationship with Ryan & Ryan Insurance dates back to when Bob Ryan started working for his father in the mid 80’s.  With all of their insurance needs covered (home, auto, etc.), Bob and Arleen praise Ryan & Ryan Insurance Brokers Inc. for all of the excellent customer service they experience with the staff.

Of course a history dating that far back does not exist without a few stories. Over the years, (with Arleen and Amy often cheering them on), Bob Nanz and Bob Ryan clocked many miles running together, including two NYC Marathon finishes.  They were also two of the three originators of the Shamrock Run, and their everlasting bond was furthered by taking part in  each others weddings.  Bob Nanz got the last laugh in following the weddings though when he and Dennis Ryan ran the local Kingston Classic wearing tuxedos with signs stating “I survived Bob & Amy Ryan’s wedding.”  Bob Ryan and Ryan & Ryan Insurance Brokers are grateful for the long term commitments they develop and share with customers and friends.
