<OAKDALE, CALIF.> Long time beekeeper laid to rest 9.25.98. My friend Roy D.
Brant, 85, passed on 9.22.98. Will be remembered by his family and many
beekeepers in the US as he was an active member of local, state, and national
bee associations as well as a long time member of Sioux Bee Honey Co-Op. Roy
was a good father and bee breeder and is survived by his wife and children
plus
brothers and sisters from the Dakota's. Roy has always been ageless to me, I
first met him maybe 40 years ago and his interest in beekeeping was infectious
to all beekeepers who knew him. We were not close friends but I can't think of
many beekeeper meeting at the local, state or national level that he was not
there and always willing to talk with, help and work with other beekeepers to
find common solutions to everyday problems. We all will miss him.
