Geoffrey Cobb Ryan passed away peacefully on August 24th, 2007 at the age of 74 with Betty Hamilton and his brother Chilton by his side. Geoff was an avid birder and conservationist and devoted an incredible amount of time and effort to Audubon. He helped found New York City Audubon Society; served as chair of the Audubon Council of New York State; was Vice Chair and a charter member of the Audubon New York Board of Directors and a member of the Board of the National Audubon Society. He was a great advocate for the National, State and Chapter programs working together on behalf of birds, other wildlife and their habitats. He will be sorely missed, but long remembered.
