Bryan was a good friend. I worked with him for many years at Garcias. We bowled together, fished together and always had a good time. He always had a good things to say and he always had a smile on his face.
He will be missed.
Rest in peace...

Bryan and I were friends growing up on 48th Street. He's a couple years older than I. I remember we would try out new wrestling moves on each other in my front yard some summer afternoons. We built (or at least attempted to build) a tree house in his back yard. We also had a lot of fun taking our fishing poles and some bread or bacon with us down to the cemetery pond and fish for bluegill or bullhead. I also remember going with him and his dad down to the farm near Truro a few times. We would shoot cans with his rifle and listen to a Kansas City Royals game on the radio on the ride back. I have good memories of our times together. I considered him a good friend. My thoughts go out to Mrs. Kruse, Craig, Mike and the rest of Bryan's family. Rest in peace, Bryan.
