NALC: In Memoriam – Leo Brandt

[Omaha Steve]

It is with deep sadness and a heavy heart that we report that on Tuesday morning, June 18, 2013, a tragic accident occurred at the Brooklyn Center Branch and Brother Leo Brandt was killed as he was arriving at work. While the circumstances of this tragedy are still under investigation and we are left with more questions than answers, we must now work to support each other and especially the families involved during this time of grief and sorrow.

Leo was a truly a unique individual; he always had an upbeat attitude and could be counted on to go out of his way to try and raise your spirits in times of difficulty. Leo leaves behind (that which he was most proud of and would always talk about) his family: his loving wife Loreese; his children Crissy, Cory, Ciara and Cayla and his grandchildren Nataliah and Avery. He also leaves behind a host of friends and co-workers. If you spent anytime at Brooklyn Center, be it a week or years, you knew Leo. He will truly be missed.

The Branch has also set up a memorial fund in Leo’s name. Donations may be made payable to:
