Lester John Brandewie passed away on Sunday, April 1, 2018 at his residence in Celina; he was 89.
He was born the son of Lawrence B. & Lietta (Bensman) Brandewie on Aug. 21, 1928 in Ft. Loramie, Ohio. On July 26, 1952 he married Dorothy A. Kramer, who died Dec. 23, 2009.

Lester graduated from the Ft. Loramie High School with the class of 1946. He served his country in the Navy Reserve. He received his bachelors degree from The Ohio State University in 1952 and became the Mercer County Agricultural Extension Agent.
