I first met Brendan when he came to work in the Workplace Environment Department at Manitoba Hydro a few years ago. I was immediately impressed with Brendan's constant smile and his ability to always be upbeat and positive in spite of the obvious physical challenges this young man was born into.
My wife and I got to know Brendan on a bit more of personal level when we had occasion to sit with him at a couple of staff events held at ASD and we had the pleasure of "cheating" him into the winners circle on one occasion - Arlene insisting that he had to right up close to the horse. We waited with him for his cab that night and he was so excited about the good crew at ASD making him a special meal "mac & cheese" (apparently nothing at the buffet would do ...), winning a few bets and getting his pic taken with one of the winners. Just like the MasterCard commercials .. PRICELESS!
Brendan, you'll be missed by all of your good friends in WSH&CS, rest well!
