God blessed our entire family by sending Jack Brennan into our lives many years ago. How could you not love a guy who had a heart as big as his physical presence, a smile and a story that would highlight your day, a caring and a loyalty that you were lucky to receive?. Whether it was dropping off muffins and gifts for our grandchildren, plants for me, scratch tickets, etc. his generosity made you feel so important!
Jack was Jims Cape Best Buddy... boating, fishing, out for breakfasts, trips to Home Depot, errands, checking our house, sharing his wisdom and humor.... We knew we could always count on Jack to be there for us right there next door.
We hope he will always be near for us.
God bless Jack and all his dear family.

Growing up there was a Brennan for every Dever, starting with Mom and Dad. Then they had a sixth child Jay. No offense Brother Jay.
Just received the sad new about Jack. Devers will be thinking about Brennans tonight and every night.
Love,
Paul Dever and family

Our condolences to Jack's family at this most difficult time. Jack was the neighbor of our good friends and we were very fortunate to know him and spend time with him. He was a man of many stories and we heard quite a few out on our friends boat together. He loved Boston, his family and fishing. We will miss his smile and quick laugh and of course the stories.

Rest In Peace Jack Brennan. We were your neighbors in The Old Harbor Project. In those days everyone knew each other who lived there. There were always certain families who stood out in the neighborhood as good neighbors and the Brennan family was of them.
Deepest Sympathy from the McGrale Family.
