Mrs Taylor my wife and I are so sorry for your loss. Bryan was a gentle giant of a man and a very caring person. We only knew him from his pressure washing business and he washed our house for 25 years or so I am guessing. We often talked about his passion for VW's. We miss him. I noticed that you have a son-in-law Robert Gros. That was my mother's maiden name and I would love to know if there is a family connection.

I will miss our fishing times together and our talks on the phone. You are with your dad and mind now, probably fishing too.
