I knew Bret when we were both around 7-10 years old and living in Illinois. We were in cub scouts together and attended Wayne Thomas grammar school. He moved away when his father changed jobs in the mid 1960s. I remember a funny story about Bret finding a beehive in a tree outside his house in Illinois. I was with him and tried to discourage him from taking a stick to knock down the hive. I took off running before he began. Well a couple of stick blows and those bees came out furious.  The must have stung poor Bret 30-40 times while ran frantically to get in the house.  We never stopped laughing about it afterwards.  Anyway, I use to tell my kids that story and it was always one of their favorites. I regret never getting in touch with him again. It would have been nice to shoot the breeze and catch-up.  To Scott who I vaguely remember and to all his family that I don’t know, please accept my deepest sympathies. I see that Sheldon and Claire passed. They were great people and were very welcoming to me always. 

May the rest in peace,

Sincerely,

Bret and I met at Washington University in 1074. We became best friends and remained that way until his passing. My family considered him family. He and I were in fact more than friends. He was my brother. He was full of laughter, intelligence and sarcasm. I loved him and will miss him until the day I pass from this world.  

Cherish the memories. He will be missed by many.


Brett and I met in college and had many great times together. He was fun-loving , very smart and could think out of the box. In fact, he recreated the game of risk incorporating population, natural resources and manufacturing capacity. We spent  many long nights conquering the world. He also gave me good advice on managing my course load. 
Over the years he had really interesting takes on world events and politics.   Always made you think about these differently. RIP my friend, you will be missed.

Rest in peace you culinary genius.

Dear Janet and Scott and the rest of the Tauben family -
We were so sad to hear of Bret's death.  He was a funny, kind person.  We have many fond memories of dining, camping and skiing with him.  What a loss.  Please accept our deepest sympathy.  
Sincerely,
Kimberly and Greg Shapiro

Certainly, one of the smartest and most cordial people I have had the pleasure to know.   He always seemed to be in good mood.  We've had many conversations covering all sorts of topics over the years.  He frequently found something interesting to share about them.  He will be missed by many.  
  

Saddened by the loss of my brother in law. Good hearted gentleman who was a WWII history buff. Could hold his own discussing investing and the economy. Always enjoyed a good restaurant and service. Will be missed. Loved his canines. 

My sincere condolences to the Tauben family and friends.
