So sorry I didn’t hear of his passing. What a wonderful man he was! Rose was also just a wonderful person! They will forever be missed!
Taft, Jr., Mark and Karen–So sorry to hear of the loss of your father. Taft, Jr. and I used to pal around together in grade school through high school. I can and will always remember Mr. Bryan just shaking his head and smiling when he would hear or know of some of the things we used to do as kids (especially when we got older)! May he rest in peace.
So very sorry to hear of his passing. He was an amazing person.
Karen so sorry to hear about your dad. He was a wonderful person so sweet and always smiling.
