It was a very sad day to hear of Brendan's passing. Being a co-worker at PNPS he joyfully recounted the adventures of the twins and Marcy whom he loved with all his heart. I will remember his eternal smile and quick wit with jokes and kidding around as well as his quick study of plant systems and his always willing to help any co-workers out to get the assigned work done. He will be greatly missed. May he find peace in his new home in Heaven and be a guardian angel to his girls as they grow. You have my deepest sympathy on your loss of someone taken too soon from this Earth.
