RIP Johnny Brandt

I want to start off tonight's blog with a tribute to Johnny Brandt. Johnny was a guy everyone liked. He was the Chaplain for the Steelton Fire Department, Chaplain of the Dauphin County Volunteer Firemen's Association, and was a Fire Police with the Steelton Fire Department. He was a well liked man by many people. My father has know him for some time now, and my grandmother worked with him at Wanamkers before they closed. I had known Johnny for almost 8 years now. He was a very laid back guy, always had a smile on his face and always greeted you in a happy way and a good hand shake. Johnny will surley be missed by a lot of people, and I believe that the conventions and meetings will not be the same without good old Johnny's voice and cheer present. So to my brother firefighter, I salute you!

Around 01:00 hours the pager went off for a fall person in Halifax Township. My father got up and got dressed and got in his truck and headed to Carol's house. He got there and they went responding and they picked up Sue at the Post Office. I was sitting at home and I heard my father get on and ask county to dispatch company 29 for lifting assitacne. I quickly got dressed and got in my car and headed for the scene. I got there and Jeff Enders was there along with Medic 6. So after I showed up Jedd cancelled the fire department and we got him off of the floor and loaded up and they headed on down to Osteo. I headed on home. Once at home I finished up my email and then went to bed around 03:00 hours. At 03:30 hours, Sue called me on my cell phone and we talked for about 5 minutes until she got home then hung up. I went back to bed and got up this morning around 10:00 hours. My father did not go to work since he got home late. I got out of bed and got dressed and then ate breakfats and read the paper. I then watched a little tv and then got on the computer and played a game for about 4 hours. I then ate dinner and then took a shoer at 18:00 hours. Then around 18:45 hours Larry Cook called and told me about Johnny. I then told my father, and then my mother called her mother and told her. Me and my father then got dressed and then headed into the "Barn" for the executive officers meeting tonight. We stopped at Fisherville and my father let them know about Johnny, and then we went into the shed for the meeting. We spent about one hour in there and the we talked some afterwards. We then headed on home. Once at home I ate a snack and am gettgin ready to hit the old email and surf the net. I will be on late tonight so if any sexy ladies want to talk to me, just give me a buzz.
