Here is a typical story Brendan and I shared: At the AOH, people would request funds for various causes to consider and vote on. It was the first night for a round of new requests listed under— "The First Annuals." After several rounds without selecting a recipient, one committee member stood and said," Why don't we just give the group what we gave them last year!

In life, Brendan, was the Genuine Article, the real McCoy. He was always pulling me aside, where in a low voice he'd share his latest joke or story as he attempted to hide a smile or laugh, but never could. His wife Mary's family, McCarthy's from Ireland lived across from the O'Neills on Whittier Avenue. Mary and my sister, Mary, were in the same class at St.Pat's. Mrs. O'Neill often left messages on the fridge door for Bobby O'Neil to hide the cookies when I visited the house.
At one time there were five McCarthy families on Whittier with father's named John McCarthy. We received one others mail and after opening the mail knew their business as well. In the '50s and 60s, there were over 100 children on our block from Burnet Park Drive to Avery Avenue.
School days, we streamed from home to assemble class by class in St. Patrick's School yard before marching inside the school.

Brendan, We hardly knew you!
In life you were the Genuine Article. I will never forget you for your wit and your friendship. You would always pull me aside to hear your latest joke or story, attempting, but never able to contain a laugh or smile. I will miss our visits.

Brendan was always a pleasure to be around. One of my favorite people. A true gentleman. He was one of Steve’s favorite people he worked and socialized with. I’m sure they are meeting in heaven! God Bless Brendan.

Dear Brendon,
It was always good to see you at the events. You and Mary were such a beautiful and graceful couple as you danced together. Thank you for your stories and the jokes you shared with me. We will all miss you and may you be at peace now.

Dear Brendan,
The room was always brighter and full of laughter when you were in it. When you began telling one of your many famous stories, all ears were listening. I am very lucky to have had you in my life. Our families were very much just one family. Thank you for being one of the many men that I considered as a father figure. Thank you for being such a staunch supporter of my Gaelic Football days. So many people will miss your worldly presence, but we all gained another angel.
-Tommie Stack
