Robert "Bob" Brandt, 52, of Rothschild, Wis., died Sunday, September 9, 2012, surrounded by family at home after a three-year battle with kidney cancer.

I worked w/ Bob in his last job w/ Teledyne and I ran across some documentation that had his name as Author, made me remember what a blessing he was to me personally and others on our team. Wishing the family the best under the circumstances of remembering a passing that was so hard. Love and prayers go out to you.

Jeanette and family, Thank you for letting me visit on 9/3. Bob was such a fighter. There wasn't anything more he could have tried to stay here with us so I can only believe that God needed him more there. He will be missed. See you Friday.
