I am very sorry to hear of Bryce's passing.  Bryce hired me in 1995 as a pilot for Worthington Industries for which I will forever be grateful for the opportunity he gave me.

Bryce was my boss(Chief Pilot) at Worthington Industries(probably the best job I ever had). We had many great times flying until I left in 1981. Bryce was not only my boss, but also my mentor and friend. Fair skies on that final flight westward my friend.

Bryce was one of five friends who joined the Marine Corps together in 1959, Bryce, George Thompson, Bob Everly, Gary Stevens and myself. Most are now gone. It is sad to lose another friend.

What a shame you left my mother off of his obituary. Dean Wetzel or Mabel Wetzel.My mother died at his condominium, and you still didn't mention her.They were together for 38 years plus. Emily hasn't seen Bryce or Greg since she was 7 or so. Why was that? Yes I know the reason. You me tion her why? What a shame BK died alone. I offered to take care of him like I promised my mother, Dean Wetzel.The funeral is August 9th and my mother died at their home on August 10th 2018. I guess it is a weekend of rememberence. BK was my 2nd father. I talked to him and saw him more than his own son, Greg. I will see you all real soon to remember him. Why did you leave my mother out of the obituary? He loved her and she loved him. It's like you made up a pretend world for him. I loved him and looked out for him and was punished for that. See you soon
