William G. "Billy" Brann, 86, beloved husband, father, and grandfather, passed quietly to be with the Lord on January 27, 2021. He was born on September 24, 1934 in Donkin, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, to Edward and Marjory (Andrews) Brann. Billy emigrated to CT in 1955 and met Lucy Swiatek and they were married on his 26th birthday in September of 1960. He learned the drywall trade. His excellent skill was well known throughout the state. His many friends at Tom's Place in South Meriden will long remember him. Billy was an avid hockey fan. He was pleased to be from "God's Country" but considered himself lucky to have a home in the States.
Billy is survived by his loving wife, and their five children: Linda (John) Pielich of Orlando, FL; Virginia "Ginny" Waller of Wallingford; Andrew Brann of Wallingford; Thomas (Sherri) Brann of Wallingford and David (Dulce) of Rocky Hill.
Grampy loved and cherished his grandchildren: Daniel (Monica) Schwartz of Chicago; Nicole (Douglas) Hagen of Cromwell; Krystyna Brann and Michele Brann Wallingford, and David John Brann Jr of Rocky Hill.
