Donald Brand

Donald Brand, aged 82, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, September 10. He is survived by his wife Greta; his son Bobby (Kathy); his daughter, Rachel; his grandsons Dylan and Ellis; his sister Susan (John), his sister-in-law Robin; and nieces and nephews, and grand-nieces and grand-nephews and friends. He and his wife shared 45 years of marriage.

Although he disliked school, Donald studied engineering at the University of Maryland College Park, law at the University of Baltimore, and public health at the Johns Hopkins School of Hygiene and Public Health (now the Bloomberg School of Public Health at Hopkins). When he retired, he was working for Baltimore County, and missed his colleagues.

He volunteered in his beloved community of Darlington, Maryland, and elsewhere in Harford County, where he had practiced law. He enjoyed travel and was a prolific reader. He loved being on the ocean and the Bay, whether kayaking or sailing; working on the house; spending time with good friends and family; playing the piano and visiting favorite locations in our country. He loved and felt proud of his kids and his grandsons. He was also a good dancer.

He will be missed.
