Aftermark©
Your Aftermark is what you leave behind in someones mind. Your Aftermark can be the result of your death or just and everyday departure. Hope your Aftermark leaves a good impression in the tides of time.
Written by Ryan Lariviere, 1998

The Ryan J. Lariviere Memorial Fund would like to acknowledge the life and passing of Jeanne Greene. Jeanne leaves behind her husband of 60 years, Joe Greene, along with her five children and ten grandchildren. Jeanne was a 1990 Cum Laude Graduate of Harvard University, a published poet and a member of St. Christine's Choir where she was also a cantor, a member of Cyril P. Morrisette Post No. 294 Auxillary and the Daniel Webster VFW Post Auxiliary. Jeanne was an avid sports fan, loved singing, music and time with her friends. She was the happiest when she was with her family sharing her love with her children and grandchildren. Jeanne requested in lieu of flowers that donations be made to the RJL Memorial Fund. We are sincerely touched by her wishes and the contributions we have received. Jeanne was a caring loving soul who has left her Aftermark and will join those who have passed on our new Aftermark page coming soon.

Information on Aftermark site will be coming soon.

Doug went on to sign with the National Football League's Buffalo Bills in 1998, and then at the age of 38, signed a contract with the San Diego Chargers to become their starting quarterback. After 4 seasons with the Chargers, Doug was offered the opportunity to finish his career with his hometown team, the New England Patriots. Doug played one season with the Patriots before he retired, but in true Flutie fashion, he went out with a bang. On New Year's Day 2006, Doug completed the NFL's first "drop kick" for an extra point in 64 years! A fitting end to a long, storied career. Doug is the drummer of the Flutie Brothers Band.

The RJL Memorial Fund
is proud to announce the
2011 Battle of the Bands

“Pay It Forward” is used to describe the concept of asking that a good turn be repaid by having it done to other instead.

This year the Fund adopted the theme
"Pay It Forward"
and was the Fund’s way of continuing to include those who have so generously contributed to the success of The Fund.

All previous winners, sponsors, family and friends were eligible to nominate up to 5 bands. From the more than 25 bands nominated, eight semi-finalists were selected by the surviving members of Ryan's band, dismal.
