About | Bob was born in Loch Haven, PA in 1958, son of the late Robert H Bryan and Eileen (Donnelly) (Bryan) Rivet, and raised in Torrance, CA. He was a 1976 graduate of West High School in Torrance, CA. Robert is survived by his wife, Lynnette, son, Ethan Bryan as well as siblings Diane Greenwald and Thomas Bryan, both West High alumni. Robert Bryan, CPO (SS) - US Navy (Retired), was a proud submariner. From the initial school at Naval Submarine Base New London, CT, first submarine USS Tang, then USS Atlanta, to his final submarine USS Alabama in Silverdale, WA, Bob loved the Navy, the Submarine Service, and serving his country. He finally retired in 1995 as the Navy downsized. During these years, he also earned a bachelor’s degree, and met and married Carol Lynnette Cline in 1992. After the Navy, they moved to Lynnette’s hometown area Hilliard, OH, to settle down. Son Ethan Robert was born soon thereafter, forever the greatest pride, joy, accomplishment, and light of his parents’ entire lives. Bob then started a second career, in civilian business admin and marketing. He worked at 21st Century Communications/West Corp/Intrado Corp for 24 years, until he retired in 2023. |
