My condolences to you and your family on your father's passing. My father served in WWII as a fireman in the coast gaurd. He received his degree in child psychologist and instead of going into private practice he opened our first preschool in 1952. We worked side by side everyday for over 25 years and after he passed at age 79 in 2005 my heart still aches everyday for him. May good bless you all.

Mr. Brenneman,Thanks to you many of us can enjoy the natural beauty of your home state. We pass though each year to visit friends on our way to Maine. I'm always impressed by the vast forests and parks within Connecticutt.To your family - losing your father is one of the toughest things in life. His spirit is with you and I'm sure he loved you dearly.

What a remarkable life and what a remarkable man. Blessings on you all. Scott and Jodi Bryce
