Joe was a wonderful neighbor who amazed and inspired us all when he’d head out to shovel his driveway on the worst winter days. He is remembered, along with seeing your mom at the front door, whenever I look across the street at your house. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
I worked with Joe at the newspaper for a number of years and he treated
me well and was kind to me while training me. sorry to hear he is gone, but
he will be remembered well.

Sincerest condolences to the entire Brett family. Uncle Joe was the guy who knew the entire family history. I hope that will not be lost. One of my fondest memories were the ‘John the Baptist’ pictures taken at Hamlin Beach family outings. Be in peace, Uncle Joe.
I am so sorry to hear about Uncle Joe’s passing. He was the last of my aunts & uncles. Lots of fond memories of weddings & graduations with all of the Brett’s Please know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers.
