About Albin Fred Brandt
Was born on August 8th, 1913 in Bisbee Arizona. He passed away in Napa, California on November 12, 2007 at the age of 94. He was the loving husband of Allison Lynore Brandt (nee Long) whom he married on June 6th, 1943. He was the proud father of Charlene Allison Taylor of Texas, Corinne Lynore "Brandie" Gallagher of Clayton, California, and Clark Albin Brandt of Napa, California. And the doting Grandfather of Allison Taylor of Yucaipa, California, Jon Taylor of Provo, Utah, Ben Taylor of Chantilly, Va., Quinn Taylor of Mountain View, CA, Alan Taylor of Provo, Utah, Robin Gallagher of Concord, CA, and Parin Gallagher of Clayton, California. Further he was the Great grandfather of Eden Taylor, Britta Taylor, Avery Taylor of Chantilly, Va., Ellie Taylor and William Brandt Taylor of Mountain View, CA. William Taylor was born on the day Al passed away and was named in his honor.
Al came to California before the Second World War and began working at Mare Island in the sheet metal shop. He met Allison, his future wife, at the El Patio club where they both went to dance to the big bands. During the war years they began their family in Oakland while working at Alameda Naval Air Station where he trained "Rosie the Riveters" to fix Hellcats for the fleet. After the war the family moved to Redwood City to care for Allison's ailing father until his demise. Al participated in Lincoln school projects with Allison and continued to help the family along their way; giving all their children a loving home and strong core values to ease their paths in life.
Al worked for the Federal Government until 1972 when he joined back into the sheet metal trade in San Carlos to earn a second retirement. After he finally quit "working" he began to devote more time to grandchildren, home maintenance, and working at the Elks Club in Redwood City. He was awarded the Elk of the Year in 1988- 1989. He was very proud to have been so accorded by his brother Elks.
Al was a helper to all he could in the neighborhood along Durlston Road. He became more of a 49er fan in his later years along with Allison. At every touchdown phone calls were exchanged with their son Clark. It was a tradition which continued after Allison's passing away due to cancer in 2000.
Al expressed that there were too many happy memories at home and he wanted to get out and away. His daughter "Brandie" found him a wonderful new home at Kensington in Walnut Creek California where he lived for many years. About a year before his passing, he moved to Napa near his son.
This past Halloween inoperable cancer was discovered in his brain and with the aid of hospice, with his children around him he slipped gently into his next reality with no further pain. Al would want you to contribute to your favorite charity. He would make sure the kids were well cared for first. Love your family while they are here and tell them so.
Services will be held at the Emerald Room of the Redwood City Elks, 938 Wilmington Way, Redwood City beginning at 11:00 A.M. Saturday November 17th 2007. "Life is not forever, Love is."
