my thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of grief. Mr Bryan lived a long life indeed. words that Moses wrote years ago still apply today, found at psa 90:10 "in the near "in themselves the days of our years are seventy years". in the near future we will see a time where we wont have to worry about death any longer

Our sympathy to Dave's family. Mary and I have good memories of many years being friends with Davey. I worked many years with him at Continental A/L. We both had airplanes at Torrance Airport and belonged to the flying club there. Dave stopped at our house very often and we always enjoyed his visits. We will surly miss him.
RIP Dave.
