Obituary

Bill was the youngest son of Jeanne (Sternenberger) Brennan and Carl H. Brennan. He grew up on Lake Erie, spending early years on Kelleys Island and later years on Middle Bass Island, Ohio.

Bill graduated from St. John's Northwest Military Academy, Delafield, Wis., and proudly served in the U.S. Army and Army Reserve from 1960 to 1964. He later returned to Ohio, sailing on the Cleveland Cliffs Victory freighter before working at Ford Motor Co., retiring in 1988 after working more than 31 years in the Sandusky, Ohio, plant. In 1990, he and his wife, Marty, enjoyed the "best of both worlds," living between Middle Bass Island, Ohio, and Pittsfield.

Bill's passions included catching, cleaning and cooking Lake Erie perch, turtle trapping, woodworking, mechanical repair work and listening to Irish music. First and foremost, however, Bill loved helping others, regardless of how simple or complex the task.

He was predeceased by his parents; and two brothers, Michael and Charles.

He is survived by his wife of 23 years, Martha (Kazanjian) Brennan of Pittsfield; two sisters, Rose Thrash and her husband, Clyde, of Columbus, Ohio, and Norma West and her husband, Clint, of Scottsdale, Ariz.; his loving nieces and nephews, Mike Brennan and his wife, Fran, Patrick Brennan, Cherie Faetanini and her husband, Bob, of Sandusky, Ohio, Clay Thrash and Sharon Miller of Columbus, Ohio, Linda Hayes and her husband, Chet, of Marco Island, Fla., Laura Nixon and her husband, Shawn, and Jeff and Carla Windau of Scottsdale, Ariz.; and two daughters, Leslie Brennan and Julie Brennan, originally from Sandusky, Ohio.
