    To the Family of Gary Bryan:

    I was very sad to hear of the passing of Gary. We had been friends for many years. I have many fond memories of Gary’s wonderful sense of humor! Although we were in touch by phone sporadically over the years, I rarely saw him in person. He and Nick McCully attended my father’s memorial service back in 2001 and that is the last time I saw Gary.
    Please accept my heartfelt condolences.
    Sincerely,
    Amy Fuller Plá
    Silver Spring, Maryland
