I had the joy and privilege several times in the past few years to play golf at a few different courses with Bryant and my Dad. It was clear that golf was a big part of Bryant's life, but I could also see that he was a person that just enjoyed life. He often said after picking up his ball from the cup, "it's an easy game if you don't worry about the score" or something to that effect. While I wish I met Bryant earlier in his life, I'll always have fond memories of the time spent with him. My deepest condolences to the Crocker family - May you also find comfort in the fond memories you shared with Bryant throughout his life. God bless and peace be with you.
