Not sure what to say?

Oh, the stories I could relate that I have had with Dr. Bryan. His lessons in life extended far beyond the University classroom. Cliff the world is truly a better place because of your teachings. You will greatly be missed. You were a great friend!

Cliff was one of the BEST professors at ISU and that I ever had. One year during finals he saw that alot of people in the class were stressed out. He said don't worry, if you flunk out, you just go out and get a real job, don't worry about it. After that, college was a breeze, because it was so true. He could also look at a photo in the textbook and come up with 20 test questions about the photo, same if he told a story in class. It was an honor to have known you!

Dr. Cliff Bryan was hands down my favorite college professor! Always made class interesting and thought provoking! Especially going into Law Enforcement after getting out of the military in 1992. He taught me to be able to stand out from something and observe both sides of anything! A skill I still use to this day! God bless and rest in piece ol' chap! Salute!

You will always be in my heart. You were always there with advice and help if needed. I loved listening to your stories and sharing mine with you. I fondly remember all of the times drinking and partying with the Soc Department. Your passing is the end of an era. Try to keep out of trouble down there until the test of us can join you....

I am a better person for having known and learned from you, Cliff, and the world is a better place because you were here. You are missed!

Cliff was a breath of fresh air, not just in the class room, but in life. What a cool guy!I offer my condolences to his loved ones and feel we have not seen the last of this great spirit.

Cliff will go down as being one of the kindest and most positive people I ever had the pleasure to know. He will be missed by so many.
I will always treasure the times I spent with Cliff over a beverage talking about social injustice.
Bless you all during this time of loss.

My deepest sympathy to all who loved Cliff for the loss you are feeling. He was truly one of a kind and his intellect, compassion, and his humor will be greatly missed, particularly when our nation and the world so badly need more of all three from their leaders. My friend and mentor is gone, but he will forever be remembered.

You are one of a kind and taught your students in such a passionate and dynamic way. We learned more about human nature and life in one semester with you than we had learned anywhere else. Thank you for guidance and support. You are missed!
