Bryan
I still cannot believe you are gone. You were taken from this earth at far to young an age. I know you and I have not always gotten along but together we do share one special thing in common. Together we have created a wonderful, smart, handsome and loving son, Bryan Jr. For that I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I know you are in heaven right now looking down upon him and beaming with pride knowing what a fine man he has turned out to be. I ask that you watch down on him and be the light that shines down on him to guide him through whatever may come his way. May you be at peace.
Linda, Bob, Julie, Laurie, Beth, Alicia, and Bobby:
I am sorry for your loss, I know how much Bryan meant to all of you. May you find comfort in knowing that he is with Shirley and Bob right now and looking down upon all of you. My thoughts and prayers are with you today and the next few weeks.
Bryan:
My beloved son, I am sorry that you have to endure the loss of your father and best friend. He was taken from you way to early. This loss will be the hardest on you, as you started your life as a United States Marine you have had to face battle after battle over the past several weeks and you have proved to be an amazing marine. Your father is looking down on you with pride as am I and he knows that you are going to be alright. He will be in heaven watching down on you keeping you safe and lighting your way.
Again, I am sorry for your loss. Rest in peace Bryan.

Big Bry...good friends are hard to find and I consider you one of my closest. With much sadness I say farewell. Whenever I need a smile, I can reflect back on a ton of memories we shared at the Ukey club and at Catty Ave: Holiday celebrations, hanging out with your Dad,cranking up the juke box w/Pink Floyd... last year Lehigh River canoeing trip we did with M,L,J, and H was the greatest. Thank you and RIP. I will miss your friendship tremendously.
