    Our deepest sympathy and regrets go out to the entire Brennan family. We were privilidged to know him through work and socially and we mourn his passing. I was lucky enough to have a long phone conversation shortly after his transplant. He was a great guy and I for one will smile when I think of him.

    Barb and the Brennan Family Tim is going to be missed by so many people. He was a people person. Knowing him at WL and more each year after high school, working on our class reunions together. If you haven’t heard 1 of his “special” jokes you missed a lot. He could tell them with such a straight face. He could bring a dull moment into roaring good time. Tim thanks for the great times and memories.
    Missing you already good friend,
    Joe and Carol (Johnson) Piovano

      Joyce,

      Thanks for your thoughts and prayers. I can’t believe he is gone even though I know how sick he has been. We just got home about an hour ago from his funeral and right now I can’t believe this empty feeling will ever go away. I know life must go on and with GOOD family and friends like you it makes it a lot easier.

    Just knew Tim a few years, but always knew him with a smile, a good joke and a great feeling for life. He went through some tough challenges and came out smiling. I know we’ll all miss him and his smile. My condolences to Barb and the entire family.

    Kevin,

    My brother Jay just told me about Tim. I’m sorry to hear this news and pass along my condolences to you and your family. I have never forgotten the times he used to rough us up as kids or play baseball or football with us in your backyard. A very nice guy. I am sure he is greatly missed by everyone who knew him.

    Tim was a great guy and dear friend, to so many of us. He will be missed, by all who knew him or had the
    privilege of his friendship. I wish, that I could be there; to pay my final respects to him; in person. He will
