This is still hard for me to face. Mom has forgotten you are gone, but I'm not going to remind her.

Hard to believe Bryan has been gone now for a year, and gone way to soon. I recall Bryan being so charged and energetic in high school and always dressed to a T hair always perfect ! Good guy
Thinking of Bryans family & friends as you remember all the wonderful memories, keep them alive in your hearts.
May you continue to Rest In Peace Bryan and soar with the Angels
Until we meet again.

Hi Bryan, I think of you often, your fun spirit, they way you made me laugh, how you truly lived your life to the fullest. I will be forever grateful how you got me through 4th grade when I moved to Clarence and many of our years together that followed. I know you're with me when I call upon you to listen. Please stay by me as one of my guides through my continued journey until we meet again. Love you and miss you.

Dear Pat, David, Wyler and Lukow family -We just recently heard that Bryan has passed. We knew Bryan for so many years. He loved his family and friends. He was a charmer to say the least. He had style, grace, a good sense of humor. He was a wonderful cook, decorator, host ... We remember Bryan as our friend. We were with him on many occasions, happy, crazy, fun and sad and through them all, we will cherish all the memories. We are so very sorry for your loss. Bryan was much too young and left this earth too soon! May God Bless him and May he Rest In Peace! You are all in our thoughts and prayers .

So so so sorry to hear of Bryan's passing. Bryan was an amazing human being. A kind heart, a sharp wit and chef at heart. As in true Bryan form, we did tear up NYC in our time. Those memories will always be with me.
"A person that departs on this earth never truly leaves, For they are still alive in our hearts and minds. Through us they live on!"
You will be missed Bryan!

Some great memories I have of Bryan from days gone by...late 80's...early 90's. Bryan made them. That quintessential Ralph Lauren style, the swagger...and boy he had the quickest wit. That 'look' he would give someone at the perfect moment that would make me and others laugh so uncontrollably. The swanky bachelor pads, the cars...and the best parties. The largest wheel of baked Brie ever consumed by revelers. You just had to be there. I know he'd be happy I added that one--as would our old pal Glenn. The last time I saw Bryan was on Madison Avenue, by chance. We had a nice chat, a good laugh, and a big hug. Sorry we didn't keep in touch over the last several years. I'll never forget his larger than life personality. You'll be missed by me...and many Bryan. Best Always, Victor

I worked with Bryan at a Mercedes and an Audi dealer for a few years and he was a nice guy. Sorry to hear that he's passed away.

Bryan was my youngest cousin. Despite our huge age difference, we were always close. He brightened every room he entered. He was funny, quick, outrageous, talented and a really fun person to be around. We spent nearly very Christmas together, all of our lives. And the pool parties.... What wonderful memories I have. I am not sure things will ever be the same. Love you Bryan. Miss you kid.

Bryan made the world a better place. He made people laugh, he was an exceptional friend, son and brother. His son, Wyle, has all of those cherished qualities that Dad had, and Bryan would have been proud. We are so saddened by the news, and we send our condolences to the family.

Our hearts are saddened, and we send our deepest condolences to the Lukow family. Bryan would be so proud of his son, Wyle, who possesses all of the great attributes Bryan had, among others, a great friend, brother, son, and always the life of the party. God bless. Laura Weyler

With a heavy heart I mourn the loss of my friend Bryan. He was undeniably a man with a grandiose character. Strong-willed, he would always live life in a big way. Taking adventurous paths others would not. That is why many of us wanted to be around him and call him a friend. He showed us limits were only within ourselves. Live on my friend in peace.

Bryan was one of my best friends as teenager in Clarence. I can't think of my late High School and College years without remembering something involving Bryan. He was a kind and generous friend and I will miss him. My condolences to Pat and David.

Bryan worked for our family business, Paul Herman Motorcars, over ten years ago. I had an accident and broke my leg, not good.
I was home from the hospital for a few hours and Bryan was at my door. My family wasn't home yet. Bryan was there with the most beautiful basket-grilled chicken, vegetables, salads and who remembers what else. I will not ever forget his kindness.
We haven't seen Bryan for over 10 years. But my family and I will not ever forget his generosity.

Bryan worked with us at our dealership, Paul Herman Motorcars
Over ten years ago.
I had an accident and broke my leg
The day I got home from the hospital, he came to visit me.
I was alone, waiting for my family to arrive from work
Bryan came to the door, with a beautiful basket, filled with the most beautiful array of food.
Perfectly poached chicken, asparagus, dressed greens and who knows what else. He sat with me and made me feel better.
I will never forget his kindness. My family and I are heartbroken to hear of his passing. God bless Bryan and his family'.

Bryan, I enjoyed living with you in Los Angeles, California for two years. I'm sure you will read this so I will always have fond memories of you. Going out to dinner together, exploring the city, finding steak, helping me with my interior design, and shooting that video at the car dealership with your Elvis friend. Lol. May you Rest In Peace...

Mrs. Lukow & David - I was so sorry to hear of Bryan's passing. So many fond childhood memories of swimming, playing Bocce ball, running to Mr. Lyke's for corn, playing "manhunt", and taking a broken old piece of a cement mixer and running it like a boat through the "swamp" in the woods. Bryan was one of the most fun parts of all of that. Praying for your entire family and grieving with you. Cindi (Diener - from Hedgewood Dr.) Wilmot, Hanover, PA
