Mr. Brandt was a veteran of the United States Army. He worked at General Motors for 30 years before his retirement. He enjoyed traveling on small road trips to try different places to eat.

He lived by the strict theory that if you weren’t 20 minutes early, you were late, and he was definitely early for everything.
