I was truly saddened to hear of the passing of Jim Bryja. Jim was not only a co worker but someone whose presence brought humor, warmth, and genuine camaraderie into the workplace.

I want to extend my deepest sympathies and heartfelt condolences to Jim´s family. Jim was truly one of a kind. I am a better person for having known him, and we shared many great conversations over the years. There are too many memories to count, but one that stands out was his "homework assignment" to watch The Last Brickmaker in America and report back. He will be deeply missed.

Jim was a great friend to the Bolus family. He and Patty supported me and my family when my Dad passed and were great neighbors to my Dad, always checking on him and letting me know if anything was wrong. Jim was always helpful and kind to my children, going out of his way to help. Jim was a good friend and I along with my family will miss him greatly.
