James Bryja Obituary

Jim and Patty were warm and special people. It has been my privilege to call them Friends.

I´m so sorry for your loss and send my deepest condolences. Jim was a great leader in our industry and will be missed!

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I was the pediatrician for all three boys at one point before they outgrew me! May God sustain your family through this time--Meg Farmer

Patty, I am so sorry for your loss.

I was truly saddened to hear of the passing of Jim Bryja. Jim was not only a co worker but someone whose presence brought humor, warmth, and genuine camaraderie into the workplace. I first met Jim about 20 years ago, from that very first introduction, it was clear that he had a special way of connecting with people.

Jim will be remembered for his good heart, his sense of humor, and the way he made the workplace feel more like a community. I am sure his loss is felt deeply by everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.

My heartfelt condolences go out to his family, friends, and all who are grieving. May his memory bring comfort, and may we carry forward the spirit he shared with us.

I want to extend my deepest sympathies and heartfelt condolences to Jim´s family. Jim was truly one of a kind. I am a better person for having known him, and we shared many great conversations over the years. There are too many memories to count, but one that stands out was his "homework assignment" to watch The Last Brickmaker in America and report back. He will be deeply missed.

Jim was a great friend to the Bolus family. He and Patty supported me and my family when my Dad passed and were great neighbors to my Dad, always checking on him and letting me know if anything was wrong. Jim was always helpful and kind to my children, going out of his way to help. Jim was a good friend and I along with my family will miss him greatly.

Although I didn't work directly with Jim, I always remember his ready smile. So sorry to learn of his passing. May you find comfort and peace in your memories.

The Brick Industry extends its deepest condolences to Patty and the entire family. Jim was truly one of a kind-an expert in all things brick, with a heart of gold. He cared deeply not only about the industry, but about the people he worked alongside. He will be truly missed. Patty, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.

Patty and boys, i am deeply saddened by your loss. Jim was a wonderful fellow and co-worker. I have known him for 20 years and have many stories and work memories. He will truly be missed by many. My prayers are with your family.

My sincerest condolences to Jim´s family. I´ve known Jim for nearly 15 years, and I can honestly say there was no one else like him. He was good at his job and well respected. When my own father passed in 2013, Jim´s kind words to me were among the most thoughtful and sincere and I will never forget that. Rest in peace, my friend, and we´ll keep the two-minute movie drills going in your honor.

Patty is My Best friend & I knew one of her sons Bobby I met him, never met her other 2 sons or her husband but she spoke highly of all, my heart breaks for all of you guys, I know no amount of words could ever ease the pain of losing a loved one, I think of patty as family more than a friend, Me & Paul are praying for you all & are here if you need us , we love you , I know this is hard especially 38 years I couldn't imagine , but whenever your ready to talk we're here<3

I am so sorry for your loss.

Patty and boys, I am so sorry for your loss. Jim was a good friend and a one of a kind man

I want to extend my deepest sympathies and heartfelt condolences to Jim´s family. Jim was truly one of a kind. I had the privilege of working with him, and I am a better person for having known him.
