DALE R. BRANDT Dale's earthly journey came to an end on the 8th day of May, 2003. He passed peacefully from this imperfect to that all perfect and glorious celestial lodge above, to forever reside with his beloved Sandy in that house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. Dale was born July 28, 1952 to Edna J. (Holman) and T. Dale Brandt in Toledo, Ohio. He graduated from Genoa Area High School and worked many years for the former SOHIO (The Standard Oil Co. Ohio). His second career was in contract security. He earned the rank of Sergeant working for Rumpf Security & Pinkerton Security. His friends and co-workers knew his as "Sgt. B".
