A life is measured by the deeds, service we convey to others, and more importantly family. William Bryant, Sr, walked this earthly realm for 85 years. We know him as a son, brother, nephew, cousin, husband, father, uncle, grandfather, great grandfather, friend and a believer in Christ. He was one of a kind and leaves treasured memories for all who may have had the pleasure to have crossed his path. To Thelma and family though there is a void in your lives for his physical presence, rest assured that the spiritual circle of life allows that we all shall meet again. So very sorry for your loss. Lillian Williams and family, Rochester, NY
