William (Bill) Brant
BRIGHAM CITY - William (Bill) Warren Brant, after an extended battle with a
brain tumor, on September 25, 2003, I left this earthly world for the next
great adventure. I was born on December 24, 1933, in Brook, Indiana, to
William Earnest Brant and Beatrice Carrie (Heath) Brant.
I attended grade and high school in Brook, Gilboa and Remington, Indiana. I
was a cheer leader for the Remington Rifles as my athletic powers were
average, but not spectacular. All through high school and on summer breaks
from college I worked for Bob and Joe Nussbaum on their poultry farm where I
truly learned the value of honest labor and loyalty. Highlights from these
years include frequent swimming trips to Bloom's gravel pit and roller-skating
at the Rink in Indiana Beach in Monticello. My university time was all at
Purdue University where I earned a B.S. in Aeronautical Engineering and was
commissioned a Second Lt. in the USAF Reserves (1955) and subsequently earned
a Master's Degree in Engineering (1956). I then immediately went on active
duty and served my two-year tour of duty commitment at Wright Patterson AFB in
Dayton, Ohio, as a Research and Development Staff Assistant. My next move in
life (1958) was to pull up my Midwestern roots and move to Brigham City, Utah,
and employment with what was then Thiokol Chemical Corporation. That proved to
be a very sound decision as I continued there for 37 years.
In 1961, I met and, on August 4, 1961, married the love of my life, Karen Ruth
Nielsen. In April 1968, we received our son, William Clyde, and in May 1970,
our daughter, Nicole Carrie. Our family activities included gardening, yard
decoration, room remodeling (including digging out a basement under our home)
and trying to stay up with the school activities of our children. Vacations
primary consisted of camping, hiking and fishing as they fit well into the
budget.
Bill C. earned his Master's Degree in Business Information Systems from Utah
State and Nikki her Triple Bachelor's in English, Communication and Sales from
Weber State University.
As for my professional career with Thiokol, it included time in Program
Management, primarily on the Bomarc, the Mobile Mid-Range Ballistic Missile
Program and the Poseidon/Trident rocket motor programs, a few years as Manager
of the Process and Product Development Department of the Research and
Development Laboratory, Vice President Navy Strategic Programs, Vice President
of Manufacturing and completing my career from May 1990 to Feb 1995 as Vice
President and General Manager of Strategic Operations Division. These times
were often difficult and demanding, but the personal relationships established
there were both permanent and rewarding. To me, the most significant
recognitions I received were the "Distinguished Engineering Alumnus" award in
April 1991 and the "Outstanding Aerospace Engineer" award in October 1999,
both of these being awarded by Purdue University. My long-term organizational
affiliations were with Masonic fellowship, F&AM (since 1955) and American
Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, AIAA (since 1951).
I leave as my survivors; my wife, Karen; our son, William (Cellia) Brant; our
daughter Nikki (Chad) Sevy; my sister, Betty Lou (David) Jamieson and
wonderful in-laws, nieces and nephews.
In parting, one of my favorite quotations is from Ben Franklin, "Our friend
and we are invited abroad on a party of pleasure which is to last forever. His
chair was ready first, and he is gone before us. We could not all conveniently
start together, and why should you and I be grieved at this, since we are soon
to follow, and know where to find him?" One last thought, from an unknown
author: "Do your best and then sleep in peace. God is awake."
Funeral services will be held on Wednesday, October 1, at 11 a.m. at Myers
Mortuary Chapel, 205 South 100 East, Brigham City.
Friends may call on Wednesday from 10:15 to 10:45 a.m. at the Mortuary.
Interment will be in the Brigham City Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, I would appreciate donations to be made to Shriners
Hospital, Alpine Hospice and Huntsman Cancer Center. They all treated me well.
