This is Randy Stringfellow and I was one of Brett's companions in the Toronto Canada mission in 1978 in St Thomas Ontario. I have been trying to find him for a couple of years and to catch up and I was not successful..... he had moved around too much. I last saw Brett in 1984 when I drove there to visit him and he was a police officer in Mapleton City and I had already been a police officer since 1980 with Scottsdale Police Department, AZ. Now retired after 25 years. And then I checked this site and I was shocked and extremely saddened into tears. We had many spiritual moments together as well as the typical comedies that only missionaries can have. And we have many stories to have been told. I loved Brett dearly and I know that he did me. Although belated, I give my condolences and sympathy and hope that someone in his family and loved ones can call me so I can learn a little more.
