I’m very sorry to hear of the passing of Mr Brinkman. I will always remember him as an excellent history teacher who inspired me to learn and love American history 50 years ago at Holy Apostles school. He was a first class individual, and was highly respected & loved by all. Rest in Peace, Mr Brinkman.
Thank you Kevin for your quiet and strong leadership and friendship. Rest in peace. Tom Driscoll. AQ ‘67

He was a great teacher and I gave him far too much grief during my time at Naz. My heartfelt condolences to his family.
I’m very sorry to hear of Mr. Brinkman’s passing. He was a wonderful teacher at Nazareth and could cheerfully snark right back at us girls. I have many happy memories of his classes. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.

Mr. Brinkman was my teacher at St. Andrews in the mid to late 70s. He then taught my niece and her friends at Nazareth Academy in the 80s. I have very fond memories of being in his classroom. We were spirited kids, and he managed us well. Back then, I never imagined him married, having his own children, and what appears to be a large brood of grand children. I am saddened to hear of his passing, but what a beautiful legacy he leaves. My most heartfelt condolence to you all. Lori Coyle, former student
Mr. Brinkman was my teacher at St. Andrews in the mid to late 70s. Cheryl do you remember coming over for Christmas dinner circa 75’…30 people crammed in the basement for an Italian mayhem? Kevin was very thankful for the invite. May our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ comfort you in these times. Anthony Saitta
GRANDPA WAS SO NICE TO US.
