Not sure what to say?

Hall and I loved Brendan and his kind and generous spirit. We are sad to this day to loose such a great person. RIP Ball and Kay Kavanagh, Myshall Co Carlow.

I only heard the news last night letting me know that Brendan had died. As I read through the guestbook, I realized how well loved Brendan was, and what a shame his death is. I am sure many of us would receive similar praise. We all touch each others' lives and it is shame that we don't let each other know how we feel about them until we are eulogizing them.

Brendan, I will miss you greatly. Slán abhaile.

Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.

Many fond memories spent with you in Irelands 32.

I first met Brendan when I was in college. Our fraternity at SFSU had two motorized cable car bar-hopping parties every year. We would bring in 75 or so boys and girls for an hour or so, then move on to Trader Sam's and The Pierce Street Annex. 32 was always our favorite stop because Brendan and Francis would welcome us with big smiles as our boisterous group walked in the door.

I even had a birthday party there for myself and he and Francis provided free champagne for all of my guests! Brendan and Ireland's 32 will always hold a...

The last time I saw him, my wife and I had just returned from a vacation in Ireland and Brendan chatted us up one quiet afternoon about our trip and all we'd seen while we stuffed ourselves with pints and that incomparable shapard's pie. I proudly displayed the tattoo I received in Dublin, a shamrock emblazoned with a 32. He seemed to approve, if bemusedly, hahaha. Thoughts and prayers go out to he and his friends and his family from me and mine.
This fine city has lost a great one.
