Bobby Bryant was a special person. In Junior High he starred on undefeated football and track teams. In High school he was asked to forego football to concentrate on track. In our junior and senior year, the track team was undefeated and won two state titles Bobby was the Pennsylvania state champion in the 440 yard sprint and anchored the record setting mile relay team. He also helped set a new record at the Penn Relays, along with wins in the Inquirer Games and the Meet of Champions. He held many records. Whenever he ran at track meets, everyone stopped and watched in awe. He was so gifted. Bobby always had an infectious smile. He was so easygoing and constantly joked around. Next week is the class of 1965 50th reunion for Abington High School. Bobby was one of the people I was especially was looking forward to seeing after 50 years. I will miss Bobby Bryant. Rest in peace my friend.
