Not sure what to say?

I keep reading the comments you left on many of my pics, and how nice lovely and sweet you were about me....... I miss you so much

My dear old classmate, friend! 1942 was the year we met at Notre Dame des Victories. My childhood memories are filled with wonderful times spent with you not just in school but the crazy times we had, not the least being, across the street from your home. No one except those of us goofy enough to climb the step ladders leading to the top of the dome of The Palace of Fine Arts and chase each other around the base of the dome would ever believe we did that. The yellow Stop and Go Sign at...

I was invited by the Newsom family in August 1975, first by William, then Brennan.

Today, I just found out that Brennan has passed. It's been 8 years. He was my friend and played a big role in my life. Welcomed me into his home, many many times. I am so sorry to read of his passing

I never got to meet Brennan but I know him well through his daughter Chloe, one of my best friends. Chloe is one of the best people I know, and I know that is partly because of her wonderful father. This man gave me one of my true best friends and for that I thank him!

Brennan Newsome was and intelligent fun loving man who had a really fine personality... He was his own man. I will miss him as he was so relaxing to communicate with... very outgoing and friendly.

Take care my friend. May you find all the answers you seek.

My condolences to his extended family.

I love you dad. You are the best.

I haven't seen much of Brennan for the last several years, just a few phone calls, usually business-related. However, I would like to extend my heartfelt condolences to his entire family. Goodbye, My Friend

Brennan may have occasionally arrived on the late side for a dinner party but, if called in distress, he was there in rapid time to offer empathy, share wisdom and lift spirits with humor and love.
A true iconoclast. RIP dear Brennan
In fondest memory, Lynn
