Edward Eugene Brandt ’39

Ed died of emphysema Dec. 24, 1997, in Wilmington, Del., his home throughout his career.

Before retiring in 1979, Ed was senior supervisor of chemical manufacture with the duPont Co., with which he had been associated ever since graduation. Gardening and golf were his favorite leisure activities. He did volunteer work in plant propagation at Winterthur Museum and Gardens and acted as a judge in the Wilmington Garden Center's annual garden contest. He was a founding member of St. Alban's Episcopal Church in Wilmington, serving for a number of years in the vestry and as choir director.

Ed's wife, Mary, died early in 1997. He is survived by their daughter Melda, to whom we offer our sincere sympathy.
