I'm so sorry to hear about Bunzy passing. He's got the coolest handle ever. Buy calling him Bryan now just out of a lot of respect I have for his friendships with his Buddies in our more youthful days. Those Hockey and baseball days at East End Barons. I can remember our first time meeting. As he was the catcher Pee-wee league on my brother Chris's team. They were a really good team. They cleaned up and were Champs. From then on thru our teens. Bunzy's friends were my friends too. Teen cruising up and down Henserson. Then out to the Pits down Garvin rd. With a six pack. as he coached me when I was a beginner. Many laughs hanging out with him. Beer gardens and a few WHA Jet games. I was lucky to be included in Bunzys loop. An Honourary Member of the Milwaukee Stoners Tour. Quick ones with fine friends. Although time and other persuits in one's life had caused us to drift. Those chance meetings to see an good o friend makes it extra special to bump into again. I'm sad that will never happen anymore. And that I also missed paying my high regard to the memory of his spirit and condolences to his loved ones. Repect - Posted by: Ken Jensen () on: Oct 27, 2015

Surprised + Very sorry to hear of Bryan's passing. Although we had not seen each other in years, we were good friends until our late 20s early 30s. Dissappointed I was not aware of his illness or passing. I would have liked to pay my last respects. - Posted by: Jeff Douglas (frien) on: Oct 27, 2015

Brian was a kind and gentle soul. I will remember the great chili he used to serve at his Grey Cup parties. Godspeed Brian. - Posted by: Cathy Penner (Friend) on: Oct 23, 2015

In the workplace and in life Bryan was well liked by all, he had a personally that people gravitated too. He represented honesty, trust, hard work and enjoyed the simple things in life. Your dry sense of humour, business acumen and sports knowledge will be missed in our weekly conversations. Your friend of 56 years, Jim - Posted by: Jim (James) Kaletzke (Friend ) on: Oct 23, 2015

Many fond memories as we grew up and then worked together. Distance has kept us from visiting where ever we are going I hope the golf courses are in shape. - Posted by: Bob Sands (cousin) on: Oct 22, 2015

We were children together and I have wonderful memories of our childhood journey. Our paths separated in young adulthood as I moved to the west coast. Distance affects our earthly life but not our spirit. I always loved you, dear brother, and always wished you peace. I know you are in Jesus' arms. - Posted by: Barbara Bendera (Sister) on: Oct 22, 2015
