Our hearts and prayers go out to you Charlotte and Rich and your family on the loss of Brett. We shared many a wrestling meet with you both watching our boys wrestle during their high school years. Brett even continued to help as a wrestling mentor and assistant coach after his graduation, and that is so awesome to see that he cared enough to share his skills and knowledge with other young people. Remember his smile!! Although gone too soon, he will remain in all our hearts. The Genthner family
