I am a friend of Bryan's fiance Jennifer. I had the pleasure of meeting Bryan only once, and it was clear to me what a fine person he was and how much he loved Jennifer. I know Bryan gave Jennifer the happiest year of her life and it is a profound tragedy that they will not be able to realize their hopes and dreams for a future together.



WHEN you are old and gray and full of sleep,

And nodding by the fire, take down this book,

And slowly read, and dream of the soft look

Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;



How many loved your moments of glad grace,

And loved your beauty with love false or true,

But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,

And loved the sorrows of your changing face;



And bending down beside the glowing bars,

Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled

And paced upon the mountains overhead

And hid his face among a crowd of stars.

BD was not only an awesome employee, he was an even better friend. He formed an opinion of a man by a handshake and his word, not by a title. His presence will be missed by all who met him. r

I cannot begin to express Bryan's contribution to life, liberty, and his fellow man, here in this guest book.



'B', as some called him, was a wonderful, caring, giving, loving, and gentle man. His family loved him immensely and you could see that in their eyes and actiions. Bryan loved them more than anything on this planet.



I will miss Bryan and the wonderful friendship we developed over the years.



May Bryan rest in peace… he is in a better place now.



God Bless Bryan.
