I wanted to share my sincerest condolences on the passing of Brian, a colleague of mine here at McLadrey/RSM. Brian was a true gentlemen, a very kind person, and was very sad when I heard the news that he had passed away. My heart felt thoughts and prayers to his wife, his son, and all of his family.

I wanted to share my sincerest condolences on the grievous loss of your dear Brian.

Brian was the very first Jennings sibling I had the privilege of meeting. He could not have been more hospitable and welcoming of me to the Jennings gaggle.

He actually came to visit me in Madison, Wisconsin with Colleen where we continued to forge our early relationship.

Brian was the nicest of nice. His infectious cackle made you think you were a professional comedian.

We continued a running joke between us that lasted 30 years! Anytime one of us was near the phone when one of us called (mostly me calling Colleen at 1006 Pine) one of us would invariably ask Colleen to ask the other so what is Frank or Brian wearing? - then to make things funnier we would proceed to rattle off nearly every article of clothing... the longer or the more descriptive the funnier it became.

I was so extremely heartened (only a month ago) when Brian was in a proper hospital and Colleen and others were playing catch! with Brian - I insisted that she ask Brian what he was wearing and his face lit up and he smiled!!! Which told me all I needed to know.

May your millions of similar memories of Brian stay with you forever.

With deepest sympathies,

Frank Suljic

Ps. For Brian; Blue and white striped bathing trunks, a green Chuys BBQ tee shirt, Ray Ban sunglasses and a pair of fabulous black leather flip flops!

Visiting the Brookhaven Particle Accelerator

We are deeply saddened by the news of Brian's passing. We have so many wonderful memories of the Jennings Family in Hoboken from first meeting Brian and Liam at Church Square Park with the other "after dark park" families when the boys were so young! Many birthday parties, early reform campaigns for city and school board and a boys trip to the Brookhaven particle accelerator among other get togethers. Brian was a smart, funny and kind man devoted to Frances and Liam. We will miss him but we are so lucky to have known him over the years. Deirdre Wall & Gregory Bond
