Kathy:
Just learned of Tim's passing yesterday. We are so sorry. He was truly a great friend, and one of the best people I have ever had the privilege of knowing. We had many good times together at Lipton and after, and having suffered with him through his prior travails, this one is unbearable.
We are happy that we got to come down and see the two of you in August evcen though you told us that the prognosis was not good. We held out hope.
Please stay in touch. If you don't have it, my E-mail is [email protected]
God bless!!

To the Brennan Family and friends:
Tim and I met when we both worked at Price Waterhouse after returning from service in the army. I have many great memories of the Jersey shore, the trip to Freeport, Bahamas when, without fail, every night we would forget to drive on the left side of the road. I am unable to be there for the services, but please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you.
