Happy Birthday Bryan!!! In your honor I baked the chocolate frosted brownies you enjoyed for my staff. It gave me the opportunity to remind everyone how much we take for granted each and every day. We discussed the need to take time and thank those who touch our lives in small ways. You are and always will be my #1 hero. Gone from this earth, but always in the hearts of so many.
Fondly,

I haven't posted anything here before. There is no real rhyme or reason, aside from the fact that it's upsetting. I hold on to all of the great memories and realize what a special brother I have. Some of the things you would say or do make a whole lot more sense now.

Just in case you don't remember, you beat me with Pittsburgh our last game of Madden. Hopefully I will be able to get that rematch 1 day.

Happy Easter Bryan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bryan,

I have been working all night and I am sitting at the desk thinking of all the good times that we had at K-bay. There were many nights on the flight line that we would just sit and talk about everyone else and what they had done to piss us off. You were a good friend and I will always be greatful for the times we had. I still stay in contact with Slusser and we talk about you from time to time.

I miss you and keep an eye on me.

I've been thinking about you again a lot. Actually I don't know when I don't think about you. I don't have much to say that I have not said before. You are my hero. I wish you were here and that day never happened. I live life to the fullest now. You never know what can happened. Thank you.

Not sure what to say. I think about you from time to time. Still get a little irritated by what happened. I wish it didn't happen to you. Office Tormasi was a friend of my father's. I was on the phone with a CPD officer the night he died. I was on the phone with him for 3 hours almost, worried what was going to come of it. I thought of you frequently during the 3 hours. As soon as I heard on the radio to cancel med-flight, I thought how sad I was for you. And him. I dunno and will never know why it happened. I'm sorry. (Guess I had something to say afterall, huh?)

I am truely sorry to know that you were killed fighting for a 5/3 banking center. You are a hero and every 5/3 always has a picture of you posted to remember who you were and your dedication to the service saved those bankers lives that day. I just wanted to say Thank You for what you did and I will pray for your family.

Dear Bryan,


Standing at the bank yesterday I could hardly believe it's been three years. During the ceremony they asked us to say a few words. I could not even get out what I wanted to say because I am always an emotional wreck when I at the Canyon center. I try so hard to keep it in everyday. Everyday that I go to work I want to cry. I find myself driving to work in tears several days of the week.It's so hard for me to tell anyone how I feel so I keep it all inside. And, when I see everyone that I met at the Canyon center I just can't keep it in anymore. I think the people I've met at the Canyon center are the only people who can truly understand how we feel and what you did for us! After the ceremony I went to your grave to put some yellow roses on your grave. When I got out of the car I was really upset. I saw two guys standing at your grave. They comnforted me and told that I could not do anything to help you that day. I just wished I could have done something for you.
Bryan as always thank you. Thanks for everything you did before the Canyon center and thank you for saving our lifes. I don't believe I will ever feel better about the situation. But, I do know I will never forget who my number one hero is!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks to all the police and sodiers.

Love Always,

~H~

Bryan,

I just read the words written by "Recruit," which bear witness to how you still inspire people in a strong, profound way.

I was standing in the cold on this January afternoon with many others that will never forget your sacrifice. Your father spoke eloquent words, as did others who bore witness to your bravery 3 years ago. Each one spoke from the heart. There were smiles, hugs, and tears. And cherished memories shared. But I know you already know all this.

Some thoughts came to mind as I watched and listened: How wonderful it was for the CPD helicopter to do a flyby; what an honor it was for me to have worked for one year in the very place you laid down your life for your friends (I now work for KEMBA, as do Angie and Marian); how highly I respect Angie, Marian, Carla, and Michelle, and always have, for toughing it out and coming back--I'm sure you're proud of them, too; how Fifth Third is moving the Canyon Center location to Blacklick in the spring and whether your memorial may be a little different next year...

My mind, however, kept coming back to one thing: to what a truly special individual you were (are). You see, I was thinking, on this Sunday afternoon, of how many people strive to answer the question, "What would Jesus do?" and how you answered that for all of us by walking in His steps and doing exactly what He did, dying for your friends. In their place.

Few men can say they've served in the Marine Corps, and fewer still can say how they selflessly served and protected families as their vocation. But you, Bryan, are part of an even more special elite: a man who gave up his life for his friends. As Jesus said, there is no greater love than that.

To date, there are 41 pages written here by those you've loved and inspired--each of us trying in our own way to make sure your flame never goes out, striving to give some of that love back.

We gathered at the bank today in honor of your actions that day- you have strongly impacted several people who were victims that day and your legacy of actions that day will live on forever! you will never be forgotten---KEEP WATCHING OVER US!
