AASP/NJ Veteran Passes

Dec. 22, 2014—The Alliance of Automotive Service Providers of New Jersey (AASP/NJ) has announced that James Bryant, a veteran of the New Jersey association scene, passed away last week after a long illness.

Bryant was best known for his work with Bryant Associates, a collision industry consulting firm he operated with his brother (and current AASP/NJ executive director) Charles Bryant.

“Jimmy Bryant was a lifelong advocate for the collision repair industry,” said Jeff McDowell, AASP/NJ president. “As half of Bryant Associates, he went head to head with the Joint Underwriting Association on our behalf many times. He was a real character who worked very hard to make our industry better, and we’re going to really miss him.”
