My condolences to the Brosnan family. I’ve known John since I was a baby, John and my dad (Pat Barney) were really good friends..I remember him coming to our house to play poker as a kid. Then he was my boss , tough guy, but fair. He knew what he was doing. May you RIP John

My big brother, how I love you. I will forever cherish the memories. Thank you for being you.

Uncle "Big" Johnny was the true patriarch of the family. I remember he was always the one handing out the Christmas gifts at Great Grama's house each year. His passion for the Red Sox rubbed off on "most" of the family. I will always love you "Big" Johnny. Rest Easy.

My heart is with you and your family during this difficult time. Your father's love and kindness lives forever in all that he touched.
