HIS BRUSH WITH FAME: Use toothpaste? You can thank Westford's R...

It only takes a little squeeze to know what made Roger Brandt famous, but his life was all about making people smile.

I know that every word in that life story is true. Roger brandt did not only do all those things, but also took care of foster kids and "adopted", helped, supported, loved and brought into the family two in particular - Mike, a Chinese young man and myself, an Argentine. He and Barbara gave us both the same caring and affection that they gave their own kids. Now they have left us three great extra syblings!

I knew Roger to be one of a kind he dialed the phone, touch pad, by memory without looking at the buttons and pointed out to me that the key pad on a calculator was different. He was truly a sweet decent guy unique in his approach to everything and I am sorry that I did not know his history until now. Though nothing therein suprises me, I work at American Can with him and others from 1978 to 1983 and nominated him and Ralph Kercher for Patent Law Association of Chicago an inventor of the Year award for their work on the tooth paste tube unfortunately they did not get the honor. He will be missed.

Roger Brandt had a fulfilling life, but one of the most wonderful things that he did was produce a truly remarkable daughter. Rather than feel sorry for herself and look at her father as a burden during the last year of his life, she undertook the challenge with her usual smile and upbeat attitude. She managed to take joy and personal enrichment out of each day, and in doing so gave her father the greatest gift a daughter can give. We can all take a lesson from her.

[nice stories thank you]
