Father Charles had to be the last Brophy of his generation. Our mother Marie Brophy Smith, Pt Huron and Largo Fla passed away in 2000. We all were extremely proud of Father charles's accomplishments.

The Rt. Rev. Msgr. Charles D. Brophy has been my inspiration since I first met him in 1964. He was a man of many accomplishments, and a holy man of God. He was not afraid to walk to a different drum, and reached many people. He had vision for the church. His legacy will live on and on. He will be remembered in my daily prayers and Masses.
