My cousin and I talked on the phone last night about our many visits to Mr. Bryant's frequent yard sales. If the little sign was out we were happy! He was always in his chair feeding the squirrels and always a smile and a friendly COME ON UP! We visited as much as we shopped and always found a BARGAIN and great conversation. Even when his tree was removed he stood strong even when he was asked to down size his INVENTORY he stood strong and KEPT SMILING KEPT PUTTING THE LITTLE SIGN OUT AND KEPT SAYING COME ON UP!!! Now someone greater than you or I has asked MR. BRYANT to COME ON UP !!! Hope to se ya there Mr. Bryant. Under a tree with lots of inventory, squirrels AND I KNOW YOU WILL BE SMILING. YOU WILL BE MISSED BY MANY!!!!
