   Bret truly believed that life is short and meant to be enjoyed. Some of his hobbies included refinishing furniture, playing pool, crossword puzzles, cooking, and trying new foods. He was the ultimate sports fan, enjoying everything from highschool to professional sports, with a love of Twins baseball and Vikings football. What Bret enjoyed above all else was sharing his energy and humor with his friends and family. Bret was quick to share a joke and a cheeky grin.
