     Starting in the 1980's, Bryan spent a lot of time dabbling in computers. He used these skills to personalize funeral services by making commemorative videos to include still photos and music. He was way ahead of his time in a small rural community, but this service was well received and was something he continued to enjoy. He was known for "going the extra mile" to provide the families he served with a personalized and meaningful experience.

     Bryan was a member of two different Barbershop Quartets during his years in Snyder County where he was lovingly called “Digger”. He enjoyed singing with them for local organizations and churches. Music played an important role in Bryan's life. Life was best when there was music playing or he was whistling a tune. He especially enjoyed Jimmy Buffet, Billy Joel, Phil Collins and Ben Folds. Bryan and Nevilee saw all of his favorite artists in concert.

     During his time in Snyder County, Bryan served as the County Deputy Coroner for 20 years. He volunteered with the local Fire Department. He was instrumental in the inception of and served as the first president of the Middle Creek Area Community Center. He continued to volunteer his time at the Community Center. He served a term as president of the Middle Creek Area Chamber of Commerce. Bryan had his own landscaping business in Snyder County. Plowing snow and cutting grass were among his favorite ways to spend time. Bryan always had a project he was working on. Those projects included flipping homes, remodeling his own home and maintenance on his various rental units. He truly loved to stay busy.

     Bryan was involved with Boy Scouts and Softball Teams. He mentored several young people, including his nephews and their friends who came to visit him during his final days and were able to share stories of the impact he had on their lives.

     Bryan, and his wife Nevilee, enjoyed traveling together for many vacations, weekend trips and day trips. Often times their road trips would be in their Mustang Convertible with the top down.

     They learned to kayak together and this activity grew to include many family and friends on annual trips down the Susquehanna River. They completed many DIY home remodeling projects together and also enjoyed spending time and hosting family and friends at their cabin at Central Oak Heights in West Milton.
