I’ve only known Pop for a few years but he certainly made a lasting impression. Seeing how he handled all the challenges he was experiencing and still be the independent man that he was, I can only hope that I will handle situations that may develop in my life by following his example.
Love you Pop. So happy you are finally with Maw Maw. Only wish I could have met her too!
One of the great memories of my life was having Bryan and Jackie keep their RV at my place around 2001-2. Because they lived far away, I never really knew them growing up in Mobile. Whenever 911 is talked about I think of them. We spent that day together in disbelief. I would call him occasionally to check on him once he moved up to Gainesville. He always ended EVERY conversation with “I Love You Jimmy”. Well I loved him back as fervently as I could. Our lives are supposed to be about serving others without ego. Bryan had a PhD in that department. We all learn things from people to help us improve our characters. Bryan’s lessons of character are indelibly chiseled in my heart; all goodness. Good bye my dear friend. Cousin Jimmy Lyons Dade City Fl (Fran’s Son)
When I was a small child Bryan used to come to see my Dad about horses. They had many discussions on that subject. I thought he was so handsome on his horse. He was always kind to the little kids, like me and my siblings, at my house. May he rest in peace and my those who are grieving for him be comforted by many happy times with him.
