Miss you David! I cannot believe it has been a year , since you have passed. Love you, cherishing happy memories

To Charles and David’s family. I’m so sorry to hear of your loss. I went to school with Dave and Charlie was friends with my brother Bob Amberger. Dave was such a nice guy and have fond memories of him. Charlie, it’s so hard to lose a brother. I’m keeping all of you in my prayers.

Karen, Quinn, Hailey, and Burke, I am heartbroken to read of Dave’s psssing last year. He and I were room mates freshman year at ESF, and we formed a friendship that I will always hold dear to my heart.We shared a similar sense of humor,(he had a unique “flare” with flatulence) , love for music and sense of family. He invited me to his home in Rochester that year, where I got to meet his entire family. Over the years after college, we kept in touch usually around the holidays, and we would catch up on how each of our families were doing. He spoke about his kids with a father’s pride, each of them having a special talent, intellect and personality. He always joked that they were smarter than “their old man”, and he meant it. Throughout his health battles, he always kept that Irish humor. I hope he can finally Rest In Peace.  Dave will always bring a smile to my face and fond memories of our time together in college. My deepest condolences to all of you and the extended Bryan family. Please feel free to reach out if I can help in any way. . Kenjstein@gmail.com 

Karen and family - I am so sorry to hear about Dave's passing. Dave was a dear friend throughout high school and our early college years. A favorite memory was our high school senior trip with friends to Toronto where we saw the sites and went to a Jays baseball game. Surprising to us at the time, none of us could convince our parents to loan us their car for the trip (go figure...) so we took a bus to Canada. As was the norm with Dave, there was lots of laughing and memories. When I rediscovered Dave through Facebook a few years ago many memories from that trip came rushing back and I realized how much can be missed by getting caught up in the day-today grind and not staying in touch with friends.

Karen et al, I am so sorry to hear of Dave's death. I hope you are able to find comfort through this time. He was such a great boss many years ago, but more importantly, a valued friend. Peace be with you.

Karen, Quinn, Hailey, and Burke,
Will and I are so sorry for your loss. I will miss David . I think of his blue shade puma sneakers and all the Chicago music he played, growing up. I loved hearing him Plsy the French horn . We shared a love of dogs. David, was so kind and caring toward me. He came and spent a week , with Will and I , to help me recover from surgery . David had a great sense of fashion and was always so well dressed! I know he is with our parents now. I will miss you . Love you, you will always be in my heart .

Karen, Quinn, Hailey and Burke,

Erin and I are very sorry for your loss. Our prayers and thoughts are with you at this difficult time. Whenever I hear Chicago or Earth Wind and Fire songs, I think of Dave. He would play those records all the time! Dave liked to read Mad magazine and always liked to have his bedroom very cold during the summer. Dave was a good brother and will be greatly missed!

Karen, Quinn, Hailey and Burke,

I'm so sorry to hear about Dave's passing. I can only hope that knowing he is in a better place brings some comfort to your loss of your husband and father. I'll always remember his smile. I looked forward to seeing him at Bryan family events - him being a "big kid," he would always play with me and my video games or with my transformer toys. I first learned about the French Horn from him, which I took up in middle school.

The last time I saw him, was when I visited Chicago for work, and we met for dinner at the University Club. Even as an adult, he greeted me with his famous "Mr. C" nickname for me.

Karen Burke Quinn and Hayley Cathie and I send our thoughts and prayers to you I never thought I would lose a sibling so soon we were very close growing up Dave was our best man in our wedding unfortunately in our adult live we didn’t get to see each other often

Karen, Quinn, Hailey and Burke.
Andy and I are so sorry for your loss. One of the perks I thought I had as the oldest, was that I would go first, and never have to go through the heartache of losing a sibling. We hope he is resting in peace now.

I didn’t know David well, but he played the Horn beautifully. My deepest sympathies to his family.
