Pat Brymer

Years ago I had the incredible pleasure to work for with Pat Brymer. He was a phenomenal craftsman and artisan. He taught me so much about building walk-arounds and puppets. He made each day so fun and exciting - with jokes and humor, and some remarkable storytelling. His passing is such a huge loss for our art world. Im so lucky to have been a student under his unbelievable talents. Rest In Peace, my friend.

One of the funniest creative talents! I was so lucky to have been a friend of his. Love you Pat and you will be missed. Lisa Jo

As a fellow Illinois State University graduate who still lives in Bloomington, Il I send my since condolences to Pats husband, friends, family and all those whose lives were changed by his talent. I think of all the millions of people who love and are so happy watching all his creations. He was an amazingly talented man. Wishing peace to all.

I remember that gopher, it was so well executed, it never occurred to me the talent necessary to portray the gopher. The family, friends and fans have my sincere condolences on the loss of this master puppeteer. May God grant you comfort and sustain you because he cares for you. (1 Peter 5:6,7)

My condolences.

Heartfelt condolences to the Brymer family, may God be with all of you in your time of sorrow.

Pat was so creative, talented, as well as passionate about his craft and profession. Pat, I will always remember as your nephew when we were little boys that even then, you were building marionettes and putting on neighborhoods shows. I miss you Uncle Pat. You were, and are, a special person.

Godspeed Pat, and thank you for the memories....

You were a legend

Missing Pat, a talented, sweet man and a dear friend. Sending love to Jimmie and all Pats family and friends.

That gopher put a smile on a lot of faces. The Head Greenskeeper, Judge Smails, and Carl excluded. Every time I hear Kenny Loggins' "I'm Alright," I think of that mischievous varmint.

Thanks Pat! Rest in Peace.
