I started working with Mr Alen in the year 2019 ,and only work with him for 5weeks back then and later this year in february and early this month. For the little time i work with him, i know that he is a nice and jovial person and most of all God fearing who really love all his daughters and his darling wife. Because during all his struggles with his health, he still remember and always call out there names and always pray that God should help him. Dad as i use to call you, we love you but God love you than us. May your gentle soul rest in peace.
Dear Families of Allen Brandt, please accept my condolences for your loss. May the soul of the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace. You will be in my prayers for God to give you peace and comfort during your sorrow.
Because I did not see Allen for many years, in my mind Allen did not get old. In my mind I still see Allen pounding on our front door at 7 a.m. when we first moved to Aurora, Ohio. He came to help us prepare our family room to be paneled. It did not matter to Allen that we were still sleeping. He got right to work. Allen helped us in so many ways and always created a lot of warm-hearted laughter and great appreciation from us for all his efforts on our behalf. Allen and Jeannie put their arms around us when in our early twenties we moved to Aurora, Ohio near Solon, Ohio where they and their sweet daughters were living. We had unlimited fun and adventures with them. Just being with Allen could end up being an adventure. We never knew for sure what he was going to be up to!
I send my love to Jeannie, Linda, Cindy and Susie,

I’n 1955-56 I was a freshman at Texas A&M “College” (it had not received University status yet), in the Corps of Cadets, and lived in the dormitory of “B” Engineers! Next to my room lived a very nice Senior named Allen Brandt!
Back then, being a freshman, in the Corp at TAMU was considered a lowly position, but living next door to a wonderful person like Mr. Brandt made life as a freshman at TAMU not only tolerable, but made me proud to be an Aggie!
I have a ranch now about 10 miles W. Of Brenham, Tx on hwy 389! I smile every time I pass ‘Brandt Rd’ and I think of Allen! Best wishes to his family!
