He worked for Varco-Pruden Steel Company until his retirement. Leo loved spending time with his family and friends, playing golf- especially at the VFW and playing cards. He loved cheering on his Skins and beloved Bosox.

He is survived by his daughter, Renee Brandenburg-Huffer and husband Roland; son, Charles Brandenburg and wife Jennifer; grandchildren, Collin Brandenburg, Cody Huffer, Christina Huffer, Haven Brandenburg and Jacob Brandenburg; and great grandson, Alexander Brandenburg.
