Dear Aunt Marie and Hagarty cousins, Mark and I will miss your dad sorely. St. Patrick's Day,otherwise known as HIS birthday, will never be the same again. Is St. Peter laughing at his stories yet? I know that we laugh at them and will enjoy the memories of Brendan forever. We love you. Mary and Mary Ellen Wauck, Park Ridge, IL.

To all my dear friends...the Hagarty's...wish I could be there with you. I will miss him...though I hadn't seen him in a while, I hold very fond memories of him. He was always so much fun to be around...always had a joke or funny story to tell. I will always remember his wonderful bread and those trips he made up to Winona to visit Fran at college and how he and Mrs. H. included us in their visits. He was a true treasure and I was hoping to see him again sometime...time just seems to slip away. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you who feel his loss the most. Love, Murph

Our prayers and thoughts are with you---Mrs, Hagarty and the wonderful Hagarty family today and in the coming months.

Your dad had a gift to add a bit of humor to any situation which always garnered a laugh or lightened a tricky situation.

He had an interesting and engaging story to insert into just about any topic of conversation.

Your terrible loss is Heaven's gain.

The children of heaven have a new master storyteller and kitchens in heaven have a new baker.

His simple and deep faith was a guiding light to all throughout his whole life. If anyone is on a high speed train to Heaven, Surely it is Brendan.

God Bless,
