In addition to his parents, Tim was also preceded in death by a brother, Mark Brennan; a sister, Bonnie Brennan; a brother-in-law, David Gregory; and a sister-in-law, Nancy Gregory.

Hi, this may sound silly. As a child I lived across the street from Tim. He was 5 years older.
He took the time to teach me to
Whistle. Something I never forgot. A man who has always had a good heart. I´m sure he is missed.

Dan Van Guilder and I think and talk about Tim quite often. His presence and phone calls are truly missed. Tim had a good heart and was a wonderful father to Billy. He was loved by his close friends who met with Tim faithfully at the luncheons. He kept his sense of humor throughout his challenges. Deep heartfelt sympathy for all who loved Tim.

So very saddened to hear this. Tim was always ready to have fun whether it was on the water or racing a fire engine down by the Bay. I will always remember his sense of fun and great boating advice through the years. Very sincere condolences to all the Brennans.
