Brett was a dear friend and my daughter, Megan's father. He left us all with many wonderful memories and laughter - a lot of laughter. Nothing else matters now. I look forward to sharing a joke with him again someday. In the meantime, I will treasure our amazing daughter.

Brett was a very dear friend to both myself & my husband Dave. He was full of life & laughter & spread it to everyone he met. The world is a much sadder place, but heaven is very lucky to have him there. My thoughts & prayers go to Tracy, Megan, Pops, Ted & Hal. We will plant a tree in Brett's name in the spring to show that life goes on & he will never be forgotten. Love to you Brett!
