Boomer, it's been nine years since you left us and I still have no problem thinking back to our days on the fire department, you and Bob and John Donahue holding court, I never heard such heated discussion, but then we would leave and go have a cooling beverage across the street. My word I learned a lot from you guys, you were the best ! Gone to soon. Our sympathy to you Dee Anne, Kelley and Bill and Richie and Geraldine. Ray and Linda Benoit

Brennan Family,
What a guy. Boomer was one of a kind. Great guy, who had a sense of humor, and pressed forward with what he was to accomplish. Grew up in Greenville with Rich and him. I used to see him at the firehouse when I worked on the PD. God bless Boomer, may he rest in peace.

So sad to hear of Frank's passing. Even though we only knew him for a few years as a member of our Venetian Park group in FL, we always enjoyed chatting with him. He was so easy to know and feel comfortable with. He will be sorely missed by his winter friends. May you rest in peace and enjoy many golf matches in heaven.

I was just thinking of Boomer and some of the other great people whom I had the pleasure to work with while assigned to CCIN. When I transferred into CCIN as a Lieutenant I was so out of sorts having come from a male facility and Boomer and some of his co workers were some of the best teachers for this new LT! I always looked forward to having him on my shift knowing full well that there would not be any issues and if something did come up- he would be one of those that I could trust to handle it correctly. His love of family, love of life and love of the Irish were all things that so many knew of and he had so many stories of which would always bring about my smile and many laughs with him. Boomer will be so missed by so many. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of Boomers family and friends, may he find that rainbow shining over to Ireland and that pot of gold! RIP young man.
