  3. Due to work commitments, I cannot make it down for the service. But I would like to send this. I always enjoyed my time with Brett. I felt like a comedian with him. Because he always laughed at everything I said, followed by a long drawn out “man” and another laugh. We became separated by employment opportunities but and lost a bit of contact. But when we meet up again, no small talk, just banter. I will miss our time together dearly. Rest in peace buddy. May you continue to fly. Andy and Vicky Wilson

  5. I was so sorry to hear of Brett's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with the family. I flew with Brett many times when we were on the 737 and he was such a friendly and cheerful guy. We always had a good day despite what work threw at us. He always had a positive outlook and after we moved on to different fleets, whenever we bumped into each other he was still the same. I'm sorry I can't make it to his funeral due to a bereavement in my own family.

  6. Brett mate sorry to see you pass. You were such a gentle humble person. I will always cherish those memories of light hearted banter over coffee waiting for the plane to arrive and the job to start. Never a terse word from you, just a gentle sigh. Rest in peace my friend.
