The one year anniversary of John Brennan’s passing is quickly approaching. With the COVID-19 pandemic being such a serious issue, and with the strict restrictions, the family felt it was best to hold off on celebrating John’s life until it was more safe for all to participate.

John’s family would like all to know that a funeral mass/memorial will be held on Saturday (June 26) at 11 a.m. (EST) at St. Francis de Sales Church in John’s hometown of Rockaway Beach, N.Y. There will be a luncheon to follow the mass at The Bungalow Bar.

As there will be guests traveling from out of state, the closest and most easily accessible airport to fly into is JFK International Airport. For those guests who choose to stay overnight, a new hotel, The Rockaway Hotel, has opened in the area with beautiful accommodations.

If you plan to join the family in celebrating John’s life and legacy, please contact John’s nephew, Michael, at 917.731.6931. Relevant addresses appear below:
