With deepest sympathy to the family.
In this time of sadness,we are thinking of you and sharing your sadness. Pauline and Joe Lorfano
Please accept my sincere condolences. I will always remember drawing with him, or at least trying to, in the basement many years ago, amazed by his talent. May he rest in peace, and many thoughts to the family.
May the Somerville family find comfort in knowing that just as Jesus received power from his Heavenly Father to raise back to life his close friend Lazarus (John 11;43,44), he will soon use that same God-given power to resurrect Brendan to life right here on earth under peaceful conditions where the sting of death will no longer exist. (Please read God’s promises at John 5;28,29; Rev. 21;3,4; Psalm 83;18.) May this message bring you some comfort and hope for the future during this difficult time. Take care,
Brendan was always able to speak straight from his heart. He was truthful to himself and to people around him. He will live on as a true artist in my memory. Madeleine Chen
Brendan was a man of strong opinions and quick wit–both of which he was always ready to share. He was always in search of new knowledge, of which he had a vast store. I will truly miss him and the interest he brought to every encounter. Goodbye, friend.
Dear Betty and family, Brendan was a wonderful friend and a great man. We will miss him greatly. Our love to you and the girls. Madeleine and Joe Jacobs
Siobhan, I was so very sorry to hear about your father. I will always remeber what a gifted musician he was. Please give your mother and Una my sympathies as well. Cathy Lemanski (Ellington)
I worked with Brendan at NAM – he was an extremely kind, gentle and creative person. A great friend. My thoughts and prayers are with you and yours.
