Wow, what??? I’m shocked!!!
Bryan wasn’t even that old!
This is terrible news!!
He was a great colleague in the industry.
This is really tough to wrap my head around.

Bryan wasn’t even that old!

58 I believe. Somebody kindly correct me if I'm wrong.

Like many others I would guess, my only connection to Bryan was the VDH business. Several years ago I made contact, he did upgrades and service on my Royal Aquamaster, my Calypso IV, and my Conshelf 21s; I later bought the DSV; a backplate and wing; and have been buying all of my Aqualung service kits from VDH once I started doing my own services. I obviously never got to know him as a person, but I greatly valued the service he provided.

Holy s-h-i-t! I'm at a complete loss....

Yeah. Sad news. One of my friends was a very close friend of his. Bryan bought 25 DH regs I obtained at auction and gave me a good price but insisted I relinquish the Royal. He was a legend in his own right.

relinquish

or retain Chief?
