Our Family, Serving Your Family, Like Family In addition, you will find that the team will work around the clock to deliver the program you desire.

Farrell-Ryan Funeral Home is a trusted, caring, and family-owned business that has been serving families since 1935. They have built a reputation that their dedicated funeral directors strive to live up to with each program they arrange. The funeral planning team has found that open and honest conversations about the services offered make families feel comfortable to share their wishes. Farrell-Ryan Funeral Home is ready to help you with funeral or cremation arrangements. Funeral services can last several days with a visitation or viewing, which is an open-casket optional occasion for friends and families to pay their final respects. The funeral service can be traditional, with speakers, musical selections, and memories shared. Then, a graveside ceremony can be held at the burial site. Whether you choose the full package or the parts that are most meaningful to your family, the team will be ready to assist you. Cremation services can be a standalone affair without a ceremony, or you can arrange a cremation with memorial service so that friends and family can gather to say goodbye. Life celebrations are also offered through the funeral home. You can gather in a more casual setting with music, dancing, hobby displays, and favorite sports memorabilia. For any of these programs, know that we can include veteran services and military honors for those who qualify.

Lawrence D. Mandel

Lawrence “Larry” Mandel, passed away peacefully at home on January 6, 2025, surrounded by his loving family.

Larry was predeceased by his beloved wife of many years, Rosemary (Erwin) Mandel; his parents, Lawrence A. and Marie A. (Sweeney) Mandel; and his sisters, Mary S. (Thomas) Wilhauck and Nancy E. Mandel.

He is survived by his devoted children, Lawrence J. (Diane), James (Ellen), Jeannine (Alan), and Gregory (Jill). Larry was a proud and loving grandfather to Christy (AJ), Melissa (Kathryn), Jesse (Laura), Louis (Hayley), Natalie (Dylan), Dallas, and Shane (Lauren), and a joyful great-grandfather to Quintin, Cooper, Raelyn, Brooke, Finn, Sloane, Bodie, Emmett, James, Stevie, Arthur, Reese, and Peyton. He is also survived by his sister-in-law, Julie Erwin, along with many cherished nieces and nephews.

Forever thankful to Larry's loving and caring extended family of neighbors and caregivers: Gary and Chris, Marie, Peggy, Renee (the Craft Lady), Laura, Adrianna, and Riley.

Larry grew up in Rochester, New York, and attended Aquinas Institute. He proudly served his country in the United States Navy aboard the USS Tidewater during the Korean War. Following his service, he went on to enjoy a successful career with RG&E, though many may not have known that Larry was also a remarkably talented carpenter. His craftsmanship was not just a profession, but a passion and an expression of love and crafting beautiful tables for his beloved wife, Rosie.

Larry found joy in life’s simple and meaningful moments: Friday night family dinners, time spent in Port Bay, fishing, attending Saturday 4 p.m. Mass, cheering on the Buffalo Bills, and the occasional trip to Las Vegas—especially visits to the Flamingo—always alongside his bride, Rosemary.

Larry will be remembered for his steady presence, his devotion to family, his skilled hands, and the quiet love he showed through everything he did. He leaves behind a legacy of family, faith, service, and love that will continue through generations. Rest easy pops

Calling hours will be held 4-7pm Friday January 9, 2026 at Farrell-Ryan Funeral & Cremation Services 777 long Pond Road. His funeral mass will be held 11am January 10, 2026 at St. Charles Borromeo Church. Interment Holy Sepulchre Cemetery.

Torray Sullivan

Torray Sullivan was born on February 15, 1963, the oldest child of the late Morris and Beatrice Lee. She grew up on Cunard Road in North Buffalo, and the family also resided on Deerfield Street in the Delevan–Grider neighborhood.

A proud PK (Preacher’s Kid), Torray accepted Christ at an early age, laying the foundation for a life rooted in faith. She was educated in the Buffalo Public School System and graduated from McKinley High School.

In 1979, God saw fit to bless Torray with her firstborn daughter, Lorenda Hunley, who brought immense joy into her life. In 1988, Torray relocated to Rochester, New York, where she later met her husband, Dennis Gerald Sullivan, on September 10, 1994. Through their union, Torray was blessed with bonus children whom she loved dearly as her own: Shawnreca Sullivan, Keisha Sullivan, Monique Sullivan, and Terrence Prather. In 2001, God further blessed Torray and Gerald with their daughter, Deness Sullivan, bringing even more joy and happiness to their union.

If you knew Torray, you knew her signature traits. She was an avid thumb-sucker, always impeccably color-coordinated, and thoroughly enjoyed shopping. She was an avid reader and loved watching mystery shows such as Unsolved Mysteries, Snapped, and Dateline.

Torray worked faithfully as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) for 42 years until her health began to decline. She deeply loved her family. Her cousins were her siblings, and she never used the word “step”—her bonus blessings were simply her children.

Torray was preceded in death by her husband, Dennis Gerald Sullivan; daughters Shawnreca Sullivan and Keisha Sullivan; her parents, Morris and Beatrice Lee; Lynette Sullivan; uncles Willie Lowe and Charles Hay-wood; sisters Claudia “Chi Chi” Hoosier, Rhonda Lee, and Rosemary “Pooh” Sullivan; and grandparents Wil-helmina Postelle and Ruth Haywood.

Fond memories will forever be cherished by her daughters Lorenda Hunley, Deness Sullivan, and Monique Sullivan; her son Terrence Prather; her brother Terry Lee; her grandchildren Jamina Ferrell, Jaliyah Ferrell, Steven Ferrell Jr., Asani Miles, Tahtionna Prather, Legacy Prather, and Jaxon Figueroa; her aunts Celeste Lowe, Arlene Young, Fannie (James) Robinson, and Linda Richardson; her uncle Darnell Haywood; along with a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.

A memorial service will be held 11-1pm January 9, 2026 at Unity Baptist Church 183 Sycamore Street Buffalo, NY 14204
