Bryan Was so many things to Me and My Cousins and so many other Kids from Cabrini Green Projects in Chicago. He did so many great things for us I cannot begin to name them all. He taught me so many things about life and exposed me to things in life I never would have had the pleasure of experiencing. When we was kids he took us to Basketball, Football, and Baseball games. he would take us to play golf and Polo WOW! imagine A kid from the Projects being showed that this world outside of these run down high-rise building was reachable with hard work and determination. Bryan Was a God Send His acts Of Kindness and selflessness was unmatched. I lost touch with Bryan through my Adult years But I have been trying to reconnect without any luck until I came across this. My Heart goes out to the Family I will Alway Carry His memory and lessons with me. I tell Always tell People About how great of a Man Bryan was I would not be the Man I am today without him. Bryan was loved By the Youth of Cabrini Green and is and will always be a legend to us all. R.I.P I Hope to see you on the other side. LOVE!
