We had lots of laughs hanging out at Elmhurst and losing some quarters to each other.

I first met Frank as a rookie coach at Elmwood high school and he was coaching at Sisler.It was a lesson in humility for me as I saw what a well coached and well disciplined team looked like.I quickly realized that I had a lot to learn about coaching and Frank was the standard for success.

Later in my teaching career,Frank was my principal at Daniel Mac where I gained even more respect for him by seeing him as an efficient and effective administrator.What many didn't see was his compassionate side.He helped many underprivileged and marginalized students with tough and caring love.I had the privilege of watching him help quite a number of students that some teachers had given up on ....Frank never did.They didn't get a free ride by any stretch but he got them through.Rest in peace Frank....you were special person.

Great principal, coach,and mentor. Frank supported me as a teacher, department head, and coach. I was able to have lunch with him a year ago and we shared many stories from Sisler and DMCI. He will always have a special place in my memory bank and I will cherish these for the rest of my life

Mr. Bryan had such a huge positive impact on so many young men at Sisler. Because of him, so many went on to finish high school and beyond, continued to participate in football and maybe even stayed out of trouble. He, with other great teachers at Sisler, had a tremendous effect on me personally, encouraging me to pursue my future career in sports medicine.

Thanks Mr. Bryan.

My husband, Larry Marquardson, was deeply influenced by Frank, who truly changed the course of his life. Frank was a mentor not only to Larry but to so many other young men. Because of Frank’s guidance, Larry was inducted into the Football Hall of Fame twice—first as a player under him, and later as a coach beside him. Larry was so grateful to have had the chance to see Frank at the induction ceremony and thank him personally for all that he taught him.

May you find comfort in knowing how many lives Frank touched and how deeply he will be remembered with gratitude and respect.

Coach Bryan's influence on the young student athletes at Sisler was unmatched. Hisnindluence didn't stop when we graduated but continued on with the life lessons he taught us.

Coach remembered every player and followed them whether they realized it or not

He loved us as much we did him

Rest In Peace Coach

you will always be remembered

Mr. Bryan was more than a coach to me.He had a major influence on me as an athlete, teacher and a person. His influence on me in three years at Sisler, and occasions after became my direction. Condolences to the family on the loss of truly a special person.
