Robert Gerard "Chard" "Jerry" Brennan Jr.

Robert G. Brennan Jr. was born on January 6, 1937 in Oneida, NY to Robert and Hilda Pitcher Brennan.

Chard was preceded in death by his parents; brothers: Thomas and John Douglas; son, David; his dear uncle and aunt: Walter and Barbara Brennan O'Brien; and special friend, Rita Baugh.

He is survived by his wife, Pat (nee, Church); children: Julie Brennan Boganwright, Jeff (Sharon) Brennan and Timothy Brennan; 7 grandchildren; 8 great-grandchildren; and cousin/sister, Nancy (husband, Don) Zamperetti and family.

Chard attended school in Oneida, NY. Graduated from the University of Dayton in 1959 (civil engineering) and worked for the City of Dayton Water Department for 30 years. He served proudly in the U.S. Army, stationed in Germany for almost 4 years.

Outside of work, Chard was an all-around active guy. He camped, skied, fished, golfed, canoed, flew planes and danced - oh man, could he dance! Great times at the Czech Club. Never a dull moment. He spent many hours enjoying a good walk while playing bad golf as part of the infamous "Holemasters" (the Goekes, O'Learys and the Westendorfs). He and Pat traveled/camped the United States, Canada, Europe and Irelrys and the Westendorfs. Summers were almost always spent in Ely, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan and upstate New York fishing, golfing, and, of course, bar hopping.
