Rick (or "Dickie" as he was known to many) worked for many years as an automotive machinist. He moved on to work until his retirement as an industrial mechanic. In his spare time Rick also used his skills in his own garage and was a trusted mechanic to his family and friends. He had many interests and hobbies but (besides his family) his biggest passion was flying. Rick was a longtime recreational pilot and was the proud owner of a Cessna 170. He spent many mornings flying with his wife and grandchildren to get breakfast in Martha's Vineyard and enjoyed giving rides to his family and friends. Rick was a member of the Plymouth Aero Club for 50 plus years and was also a longtime member of the Weymouth Sportsman's Club. Rick enjoyed travelling with his wife. Some of their best times were trips to Virginia Beach, The Cayman Islands and Florida. Their favorite place by far though was Hawaii, which Rick and Pam loved so much they visited eight times.

He was a devoted Papa to Colin, Lyla, and Jack. He is predeceased by his brother, Phillip Bryant. He is survived by his siblings, Russell "Shorty" Bryant, and Steven Bryant.
