Please accept our deepest condolences in your time of loss. Bryan’s memory will always live on. -Pat (Woofer) and Rob (Big Dog) Williams (and their clowder)
Bryan, one of the things I always thought we had in common was that neither of us fit in too well with modern life, yet we both figured out ways to adapt to that. I can imagine the two of us knowing each other and becoming friends 100 or more years ago, when concepts like intelligence and loyalty were still valued by society. I have many memories of our conversations and the odd twists and turns they would take, the vast amount of knowledge that you would draw on to make your points. And I appreciate the odd, the offbeat and the quirky, and I know you did too. I remember driving up to Loveland Pass that one night with you, just to watch the stars and see the Milky Way, then stopping off at the Denver Diner once we got back down from the mountains. I was so happy that you and Les met and were able to be there for one another over the course of many years. Any time I hear something about MST3K or see Comic Book Guy on an episode of the Simpsons, I am sure I will think of you, as I have for a long time now. You will live on in the hearts of those of us who knew you. Rest in peace Mister B.
