“Very sad day today. We lost one of our own friends and Sous Chef William Bryant in a tragic car accident on his way to work. If you knew Will you immediately loved him and his personality. He was a special person to all of us in so many ways. He loved working a A Thyme Savor and it showed in his work ethic and attitude everyday. You could not spend a day in the kitchen with him and not have more than a few chuckles from the friendly banter that we always exchanged. He loved fishing and his friends but most of all he loved his family and God. We will all miss you soo much and as bad as it hurts right now we will find peace in knowing that you are sitting with the MAN now and at rest. RIP Will and may you catch a 1000 fish every day up there”
