So sorry I am so late in extending my sympathy. Mr. Brennan was a wonderful man who always had time for my many questions. He shared his wisdom and kindness with everyone. I loved being the babysitter to the delightful children.

My parents, Jack and Dodo Cavanaugh were close friends of Terry & Kel back when they lived in South Bend. Played a lot of bridge and had a lot of good times. My condolences to the Brennan family on the loss of their father and grandfather.
May he rest in peace,

Terry was coaching at Mt. Carmel during the 1950´s and visited our St. Laurence football practice to recruit Joe O´Sullivan who starred at Mt. Carmel, then became a Carmelite priest.
God bless you Terry.

I met Terry and his amazing family at Ridge Country Club way back in 1962. "Like father", his three year-old daughter was going off the high dive! Lifeguard Richard Nolan

Terry was such a dear friend of my parents, particularly my dad, Don Schwartz. Always competing in sports or bridge. In the end it was nice they were able to spend their final days at North Shore Place together for a final game of bridge. My mom and I were able to enjoy lunch with him just a few weeks ago as he explained his sweater around his neck. It wasn´t fashion statement he insisted it was so he could quickly put it on when the temperature dropped
