The business that is Ryan & Ryan today was opened December 1, 1958, when 27-year-old Robert J. Ryan, purchased the Duffy Agency in Rosendale, N.Y, and launched an insurance brokerage that today remains among a handful of privately-held agencies serving the mid-Hudson region.

"That day was frigid with a high temperature of 28-degrees and snows forecast in the days ahead. The success that has come about throughout the years has kindled a deep appreciation for the community we are part of," says Robert J. Ryan, Jr. president of the firm now based in Kingston.

Our Community Focus

"I have learned to see community as a quilt made up of shared values. Relationships, cooperation, mutual support, and active civic participation contribute to the outstanding quality of life we share and establish a sense of belonging. Together we meet needs as they arise.

"Community has become the focus of our business. It is how we developed our 65^th anniversary theme, 'we all do well by doing good'," explained Ryan.
