Alvin (Dick) Bryan was born August 30, 1943 in Eufaula, Okla.
After spending 31 years at Tinker, he moved to a bigger and better job—Bryan Farms. He not only worked hard; he played hard too! Some of his fondest memories were spending time with family and friends at his house on Lake Eufaula.
Dick was an avid big boy toy collector and tried to have at least one of everything. His favorite activities included trail riding, side x side trips, hunting, fishing, drinking beer, and listening to live music on the beach with the Lake Squad.
Dick was not only a loving husband, dad, and grandpa, but was a fun-loving kid at heart. His memorable laugh will never be forgotten.
On July 12, 2021, at the age of 77, he went to a better place.
Dick’s family consists of his wife Betty of 48 years; his son Jeff Bolin and wife Tammy; grandkids Jackson Bolin and fiance Laura Kabbaz; Brooke Bolin and honorary grandson Kris Pepper; daughter Shelly Bryan, grandkids Destiny Ferguson, Cali Robinett, Damon Ferguson; son James Dickie Spaulding (deceased), daughter-in-law Kim Kuehl, grandkids J.D. Spauding Jr, Kayla Spaulding, Luke Spaulding and wife Sarah, Cassidy Spaulding, Jacob Garrett and wife Shannon, Alexis Garrett, Chloe Garrett, and 12 great-grandkids; sisters-in-law Barbara Evans, Mary Hart, Leda Canada, Janice Bass and husband Dennis.
Dick will be greatly missed by not only family but also his many friends and neighbors.
