So sorry for the loss of Bryan. I knew and worked with Bryan when he lived in Tunkhannock,PA and kept in touch with him over the years. Bryan loved playing his guitar and was truly a kind soul. Rest in ✌!

I just heard tonight and I am speechless and sad. So young and just turned a new year. Til we meet again my friend. I hope we can laugh at how well we played our parts in this life walk. Thank you for your presence in the world. Fly free and thank you for the memories.

Bryan was a very smart, kind, talented gentleman who accomplished much. He was a wizard at guitar playing, guitar teaching, musical instrument repair, violin building, engineering/project management and everything computer/software related. He always “took the shirt off of his back” to help any of his family/friends needing it. I have no doubt that he is jamming with Jimi, Eddie, George, Bonham and all of the legends at that great concert in the sky. We all miss you. Rest in peace brother!

My sincere condolences, I just read about this today. Bryan was one of the best guitar players I ever worked with, no one could play and sing the blues like he could, rest in peace Bryan.
