Bryan, having been born with Down's syndrome, did not have the access to schooling as the rest of us. However, he learned many jobs by the repetition method and was terribly proud of this work. He was a happy person, able to take part in a lof of activities such as dancing and golf, where his score always seemed to be one. He loved both his families with all his heart and was their protector as well as their friend and brother, and uncle. For a baby who was given a life expectancy of 19 years, he died peacefully in his sleep at the age of 60."5
