My sister, Joan and brother, Ron and I were some of the kids blessed to have known Mr. and Mrs. Brennan and their family. My sister and I used to babysit and help Mrs. Brennan with the housework.

We had the greatest neighborhood and your family was a large part of it! I think your parents took us...

Condolences to Mary Jo and the entire Brennan family on the passing of your father. He was a community leader who lived a long and productive life. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Jean and I extend our condolences to the entire Brennan family on the passing of Jim.

Mr. B. was always there for me when I needed advice. He was kind, non judgmental and I knew as he spoke, that he really cared. He helped me make a huge decision in my life and for this I am forever grateful. Mr. B was the first person I got to vote for when I turned 18. I had fun campaigning for him. The MOST FAIR HONEST Politician Milwaukee has ever had. My love to Mary Jo, (my buddy), Nancy, Marty and Bill. You guys were so lucky to have had such an loving dad. RIP Mr. B. together again...
