He will be remembered for his kindness decency and sense of bonhomie.

Brendan was an avid reader and a lover of literature and many who knew him will remember his impromptu recitations of his favorite verses.

Brendan is survived by his wife: Denison family members and many friends, who will carry forward the life lessons he taught with grace.

‘Out of the night that covers me, black as the pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be. For my unconquerable soul. I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul”

Invictus

May he rest in peace.
