My heartfelt condolences are extended to you Mrs. Alice and the entire Collins family. It was a pleasure training and working with Bryan at Wells Fargo for many years. He was a great friend & coworker and loved his family, and yes he was a great dog dad. Bryan owned any room he entered and his infamous smile lit it up. Bryan wings were ready but my heart wasn't so with that I'll hold on to the wonderful memories we shared. I'm praying God will strength each of you during this time of bereavement.
