Mr. Bryant was so kind to me as a teenager. He did not play about his daughters. You had to come correct when visiting. I wish we could had more conversations. You are a man I always respected. He loved his family. Rest easy, Mr. Bryant.

I have known Scooter since I was 6 years old. Sixty Six years I have known this man. When I was growing up I wanted to be just like him. When I got older I just wanted to be his friend. We laughed together, we sang together, we cried together, we definitely partied together. It's not much we didn't do together. We both loved music and martial arts. I will miss you my friend dearly.
My condolences to the family. I am so sorry for your loss.
R.I.P. Scooter
