Condolence From: LTC John Motley, USAR, RET
Condolence: Dear Maureen, Tara, and the whole Brennan Family, I had the distinct honor to serve with LTC Brennan in the last few years of his military career with the 10th Special Forces Group, Ft. Devens, MA from 1984-1986. I didn't realize it at the time as a brand new Second Lieutenant, but LTC Brennan made a lasting impression on me that served me well over the next 27 years of my career. He was a true Officer and Gentleman who treated me with respect (very unusual for a 2LT to get any respect) and I sincerely appreciated it. Throughout my career, I would often reference back to LTC Brennan when mentoring my junior officers and NCO's to encourage them to treat all their soldiers with respect, no matter their rank. I have fond memories of his retirement ceremony on the USS Constitution on Sept. 30, 1986 in Boston. Please accept my sincerest condolences on your loss and my apology for the late response, as I just learned of his passing today. De Oppresso Liber!

Condolence: So sorry to hear of Frannie's passing; I grew up with him. We both went to Saint Agnes and Arlington High together. I was on the hockey team with him and also competed against him while he he attended Norwich University. Today the world is minus one great husband/father, military hero and educator. We will miss you. Jack Allen

Condolence: Fran Brennan was a dear friend of mine for several decades. There are very few people who truly leave a footprint on our hearts and minds...and additionally serve as an icon of those true values in life regarding family, friends, country, community, and the future. Fran was in that tiny, pivotal and august group. He was an extraordinary hero of humble persona; an educator with the experience that complemented the textbook; and a template of excellence personally and professionally. There is a void in the world today over the loss of truly great person. I extend sorrow and prayers to his family along with the knowledge that so many others share your loss.
