Bryan was a great friend and source of joy to our family. He worked as an architect with my father George Murray for several years soon after arriving in the US. I have many fond memories of the Cassidy family and send my deepest sympathy and love to them all.

Bryan was a member of my Bible Study for many years. He had a heart for others. He always had a good story to tell, and told his stories well. He also served the community in many ways. He was a gift to those who knew him.
