My job used to be to care for him and two other men. I'm trying to assemble the exact songs he used to play on his CDs (I think that's what he had.) On a particular day he would listen to a particular CD. One example was Ray Coniff Christmas CD.

Thinking of the Wells family. We were neighbors when Brett was young. Brett would recognize our car and and announce Jan was home. We were so amazed. Brett was so sweet. We have alot of neighborhood memories of the Brett and the Wells family.

I'm so sorry to hear of Brett's passing. Thinking of you and your family at this heartbreaking time. I will never forget how amazing Brett's savant talents were. I remember he could distinguish EVERY SINGLE CAR SOUND, when we would come over he would be saying "Artie! Artie! Artie!" And how he knew numbers and dates was beyond fascinating and brilliant! He was 1 in 10 million! RIP Brett.
