Deepest sympathy to Joe’s family. I first met him at RCA in the machine shop and 30 some yrs. later I rode the elevator down with him at the Orthapedic Dr. I reconized him, of course after all those years he did not know me but soon it came to him. I invited him to go to our old RCA guy lunch and he did meet up with us at Park city diner and we shared some old faces and some old times. He was so proud he had just passed his drivers test at 97yrs. of age. I was amazed at how sharp he still was and his sharp wit was still with him.it was nice to visit with him that day. Rest in Peace old friend.

Mr. Bryson you were a terrific mentor for me as I was growing up on Elizabeth drive. You did things with me that my Dad had little interest in. You introduced me to fishing and how relaxing it was, you even took me to the Longs Park fishing tourney. You also made me a big fan of McCaskey football. I can remember all the games we went to at home and many away games. You helped make my love of football strong, and it still is. When my Dad passed away you were there for my Mom, taking her shopping and being a friend. I moved to Baltimore many moons ago and I felt very secure that you and Rowena were there for my Mom. Thank you for doing all the little things that will be remembered for a lifetime. May God bless you and my sympathies to Kenny and his family. Kenny you had a great father and rest assured he is in heaven with your Mom.

Mr. Bryson may you rest in peace. You and your wife watched me grow up on Elizabeth Dr. and then again until we moved to Florida I will always remember you and your wife. You were GREAT PEOPLE whom I was blessed to know all my life. You were there the day we discovered my Mother had died in her sleep and stayed by our side. I will never forget how much my Mother loved you and your wife now you are back together in Heaven and I know you are happy again to be with your Wife. I miss you when we moved to Florida and when you sent us pictures of the big tree in our yard being cut down I will never forget. You and the other adults kept us kids straight and safe growing up like good neigbors should. All your stories about Kenny how you lit up telling me those I know you loved him alot and you will be missed. We miss you! I will see you again someday in Heaven and I know you are smiling right now and have no more pain. God Bless Kenny and your family all I can say is we lost someone we loved dearly Mr. Bryson my friend!
Love you, Jon and Kathy Bruce. Panama City Beach, Florida
