TITUSVILLE - A man is getting Eagle Scout honors nearly 65 years after World War II put off the ceremony.

The father of Titusville City Manager Mark Ryan, 81-year-old Richard Ryan earned the Boy Scouts' highest rank long ago but enlisted in the Navy before he could be officially honored.

Richard Ryan's grandson, third-generation Eagle Scout Joshua Ryan, pinned the badge on his grandfather in a ceremony in Florence, S.C.
