Sending you my sincerest condolences and apologies for not being able to attend today.

I am thinking of Bryson and all his family this morning.  Family and friends will be gathering soon for Mass.  I regret I cannot be there this morning but know I am praying for all of you.  I have fond memories of Bryson.  I met him in the 80s even before I lived and worked in Spryfield.  He was a support to me and others.   I have missed him these last few years.  Wishing each of you and all enough.

love,
Joan

To Brysons Family So very sorry to hear about Brysons passing.I got to met him as our young bat boy with our Keith’s Softball Team.Then when the 1969 Canada Games Team was formed being the coach it was my job to pick the bat boy. I was very happy to choose him for the job. In years to follow i was lucky to catch up and have coffee with him off and on and see what a great father and grandfather he became. Rest In Peace Brys. The Coach.

Shannon, Lindsay, Allison and family

It’s so hard to loose someone that has touch a lot of peoples lives.  He cherished you all and was so proud to be a grandfather of Magnola.  He will always be in your hearts and we will miss him terribly.  Our loss is heavens gain.

My sincere regards to Bryson's family and his fire family on his passing. For a number of years Bryson was a contributor to Saint Patrick's Church, Brunswick Street, as a dedicated group worked to keep the historic church and provide for the people of that neighbourhood. Sometimes Bryson would be called away during Mass to attend to fire department business. We spent some late nights clearing snow around the church and other times setting up in the hall. He was a solid guy who will be missed.

I am sorry to hear of Bryson's passing. We played hockey together for J.L. Ilsley. My deepest condolences to his family.

Bryson grew up across the street (but three doors away) from me and we hung out a fair bit. After he joined the fire department and when I was on the police force I remember calling Fire to attend to a gas spill on University Avenue only to have Bryson and crew (he was driving) come to help with lights and siren. It was a cool moment for two boys from Sussex Street.  I moved away from Spryfield in my young adult years but Bryson moved three doors up to where he was now directly across the street from my aging parents. Bryson had a truck with a blade for snow and before he engaged in his part-time snow clearing gig, he unfailingly took care of my parents' driveway. What a kind man! Then, a little more than a decade ago, now a professor but also a volunteer firefighter, I attended a significant structure fire in the old county, also attended by my much younger cousin, a volunteer from another station. Who shows up in the big command/support vehicle on that cold winter night? Well, it was now Division Commander Bryson Wilson. My young cousin was most impressed that the "big boss" knew me! Bryson was a totally decent man who lived an honourable and meaningful life and his presence with us will be sorely missed.

So sorry to hear of Bryson’s passing, my condolences to all the family. I first met Bryson in 1969 when he was batboy for the Senior Men’s Softball team during the Canada Summer Games. We later connected both being members of members of the Halifax Department. We shared a few laughs and carried out a few pranks over the years, he was always up for a trick or two , but the time came to answer a call he was nothing but professional. Take joy in knowing he will be missed by all the people he touched during his time with us.

The Wilson Family:

My most sincere expressions of Sympathy, Prayers and Kindness to Family, Halifax  Fire Department and Friends upon Bryson Passing. I have  valued memories of my years  at St. Michael's and in particular my more recent phone calls with Bryson. While my intentions had been to make a visit with Bryson, I am most sorry that personal health restrictions did not permit.  May Bryson share in Peace Eternal and may God Bless You! .  Respectfully, Father Don Boudreau

To Bryson's family, Blaire and Danette
I was saddened to hear of Bryson's passing, I know he has been sick for awhile however it doesn't make it easier for you all.  I remember Bryson as a young boy on the Halifax Common being with his father and mother as well as you Blaire & Danette at the softball games and of course his being the batboy for the 1969 Summer Games Team.  I remember a shy quite boy always with a big smile.  Please know you are all in my thoughts and prayers.

My time at West street station with Bryson  an our crew were some of the best days of my career. He always cared about us performing well . He always took our constant teasing with a smile.   we always had fun together esp when he invited us out to the family cottage. I will always look back on those days fondly

Bruce and I want to pass on our sincere condolences to Bryson's family and friends. Although we only met him a couple of years ago, it was an honor and a privilege to have known him. He spent his life making the world a better/ safer place for all of us, truly one of lifes unsung heroes. He was the sort of person that made the sun shine a little brighter and will be missed. No doubt 'Noli' will have a guardian angel to watch over her.

Our sincere condolences to the Wilson family.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.

Please accept my heartfelt condolences on Bryson’s passing. He was a man who took great pride in his profession and set a strong example for all of us who had the privilege of working alongside him. While Bryson was known for his dedication to the rules and standards that guided our work, he was equally known for the size of his heart.
I will always remember the compassion and support he showed me and my family during my own father‘s battle with cancer. In those difficult days, Bryson went above and beyond in ways I’ll never forget. His kindness left a lasting impression, and I’m deeply grateful for the comfort he gave me when I needed it most.
Please know that my thoughts are with you all during this difficult time.
With deepest sympathy,
Jim.

So sorry for your loss. I worked with Bryce at NSPC and enjoyed his friendly personality. I remember how his heart’s desire was to get employed with the Halifax Fire Department. And I’m glad to see he had such a successful career with them. 
RIP my friend.
Neil Campbell

To Bryson’s family:
So very sorry for your loss. Bryson was a proud and valued member of the Fire Department family. He will be missed. RIP brother.
