Heather, Diane, and Elizabeth, my deepest condolances. I knew Bryan for over sixteen years, and he was such an amazing person. I only had the pleasure of meeting Diane once, but I heard a lot about Heather and Elizabeth over the years. I can say he always spoke highly of all of you and I can imagine how unexpected this was. I will be forever greatful to Bryan, he introduced me to Joe, Angie, Tracy, and many more on the West Coast. I know he didn't want to leave here, but if he hadn't gone back to PA, he wouldn't have reconnected with Heather, the love of his life. I let those closely associated with us know of this tragedy, and look forward to celebrating his life with you all once we can. He was an Amazing person who I absolutely adored, I'm so sorry for your loss..

Bryan was a great friend to me for the last 20 years. We met in San Francisco, and shared a love of similar music, and went to a lot of music together. He had the warmest heart and i am deeply saddened by his death. Fly free Chilly B! Forever in our hearts ♥. Condolences to his mom and family, and Heather. Here are a few pics of his art which he had shared with me recently. Tracy Mulligan

Our deepest condolences to Heather, Dianne, Elizabeth, and the rest of Bryan's friends and family. Our hearts are broken in learning of his passing. We hope, in time, his memory will bring peace and a smile to all who loved him.

Bryan has been a dear friend to Joe and me for many, many years. Our experience of him was that he was a gentle soul and a deeply caring man for being such a tough guy. We loved his quirky, one-of-a-kind laugh and will miss him sorely. He is gone far too soon.

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning’s hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.

My love to Heather and condolences to Bryan's family. I hope you all find strength during the painful time. My thoughts are with you all.
