Dear Kathryn and Family - My wife and I are sorry to miss the service today for Bryan, but we are with you in spirit. I am still in a bit of shock over his passing, and can not imagine how hard this is for all of you. Bryan and I met through our years together at our firm. Before I met Bryan in person, I knew he was an accomplished professional from his resume and from what John Curran told me about Bryan. All of us were so proud to have him join our firm because we knew a man of his quality could have gone to work for just about any firm. Bryan was such a wonderful colleague - exceedingly smart but never arrogant. We all drew from his presence as a gentleman and trusted friend. Whether it was in his office, at somebody else's office, or an trip somewhere, we all took comfort when Bryan was with us. Whenever you or his mom or sister were visiting the office, he would always invite me to meet and we had a nice time chatting together. Such lovely people, I would always say. These are only a sample of the comments that can be said about him because I know many other compliments were spoken when he was not even there to hear them. Bryan's life was too short, but while we were fortunate enough to have him with us, he made things better in every way. He is missed. You have our thoughts, prayers, and deepest sympathy. Ed Stroz and Sally Spooner.
