Our deepest condolences to Kelli and family for your loss. I cannot recall if I ever had the opportunity to meet Brett during any of my visits to Chapleau and visiting his parents Alvin/Olive. However, from the notices he was a man to be remembered and we are sure he is in a better place. Again our deepest condolences. We apologise for the late entry, but just heard of Brett's passing.

Hi Cohen, this is Chris. I am so sad about what happened. I wish I could have come to the funeral but my parents couldn't bring me. I was going to wear our warriors game day shirt and a tie. Don't be too sad. Sorry and see you at hockey.

Hi Cohen, this is Chris.

I wanted to say that I feel bad for you and am sorry that you are sad. I wanted to come to the funeral and wear our hockey coat and a tie but my parents couldn't get the day off work.

I am thinking of you today.

Dear Kelli, Alicia, Cohen, Makenzie and Parker.

It is with sadness that I learned of the passing of a dear husband and wonderful dad. Although I did not know Brett I most certainly know Kelli and met you all at the Carp farmer's Market, and know how a wonderful family you are. I pray that Brett is in a safe and beautiful place where there is no more suffering. Always remember your dad because he will live forever in your thoughts.

Kelli, you are an amazing person and with the love of God I pray that you will have the strength to continue being a fantastic mom. Brett has left a beautiful legacy in his children.
