I met Brendan at duplicate bridge and was his partner occasionally . I just found out he passed away and I am so sad. He made me a better bridge player. He always had a twinkle in his eyes and I thought he was adorable. He will be missed. My condolences to his family. He spoke about you all the time.

With heartfelt sympathy to the McCourt families both in the US and Ireland. We first met Brendan at a St. Patricks Day parade in NYC. It was a memorable and fun day.
Fondly remembered, Pat & Kevin Duffy, NY
