Mr. Bryant’s career with Sears spanned over 30 years and took him and his family to Virginia, North and South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi. In 1987, he retired to Alderson with his wife, Lib.

Mr. Bryant was active in all the communities in which he lived, serving on the boards of directors for various charities and civic organizations across the southeast. While in Alderson, he served with Alderson Main Street and the Alderson Public Library, was a member of the Old Greenbrier Baptist Church, and greatly enjoyed visiting with friends at the Big Wheel Restaurant.

A memorial service celebrating the life of Mr. Bryant was held Saturday, Jan. 31, at the Old Greenbrier Baptist Church, Alderson, where the Rev. Dr. Bill Bryan officiated. Burial followed in the Old Greenbrier Memorial Cemetery, Alderson.

Friends called at the church Saturday, Jan. 31, before the service.
