had no idea of his passing. Words cannot express how sorry I am. Brett was funny, always loved a good joke, always knew a good one as well. I do know he loved his family so very much. My condolences to his family. A very big loss for anyone who knew him.

I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved Brett, husband, father, friend to all of us. As a former court reporter for WCC, it was with relief when I saw Brett walk in the courtroom because he knew how to try a case and get the best result for his clients. My respect for Brett as an attorney led me to refer my sister to him when she needed a competent lawyer. Brett always knew how to put a smile on my face with his never ending supply of jokes. I was one of the blessed people who could call Brett my friend. You will be missed, Brett, and I hope G-D appreciates your sense of humor. I'm praying G-D wraps his arms around the Schaffer family, filling you with His love, strength, peace of heart, and carries all of you as your hearts heal.
