Condolences On Passing Of Walter Brangman
Acting Premier and Minister of Public Works Derrick Burgess today [Aug.24] expressed sincere condolences to the family of former Member of Parliament Walter Sinclair Brangman who died today.
Mr. Brangman, a well-known architect in Bermuda, was a Progressive Labour Party Member of Parliament for many years before he helped to create the National Liberal Party in 1985.
“My former colleague was very easy going and approachable and he always had a listening ear and a calm way about himself,” said Acting Premier Burgess.
“He served in the House during times that the Island was facing difficult economic, social and educational challenges. As one of Bermuda’s first black architects, his contributions to Bermudian society will always be remembered.”
Acting Premier Burgess added, “The Government of Bermuda conveys our deepest sympathies to his beloved wife, Lovette, with whom he shared 53 years of marriage; and his three sons: Nalton, Remonde and Quemonde on the loss of their beloved husband and father. I trust that they will find comfort in knowing that he will truly be missed.”
My deepest condolences to the family. He was a gentleman and a scholar. Always polite and well-spoken. He will be missed.
MY DEEPEST CONDOLENCES TO ALL OF THE FAMILY HE WAS A GREAT MAN IN THIS ISLAND GOD BLESS ALL THE FAMILY MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PEACE!!!!!!
Mr Walter Brangman, I never met him but heard so many positive comments about him…the first time i knew who he was …was one day he called the”people Show ” and i said to my self if only we had more politicians with his integrity…. but sad to say all we have are greedy politicians that are in the game for their gain..
Condolences to the Brangman family and friends. Thoughts and prayers through this hard time.
My deepest condolences to the man with a magic smile who was an entrepreneur, father figure to many, builder and companion to his beautiful and supportive wife. what an inspirational couple and family they were. He will be sadly missed.
I am shocked and saddened by the passing of this great man. He was one of my favorite neighbors and he will be missed. My family and I send our condolences to the remaining family.

Brangman family have no fear God has taken Mr. B home so he can design a room with a view rest assured it will be His best work ever
My condolences and prayers to the Brangman family. As a young man I always admired Mr. Brangman for his balance at a time when extremism was the norm. A very nice person indeed. Made a lasting impression on me the very first time I ever voted back in the 70′s.
Condolences to the family.
Hopefully one of his children will continue the commitment to serve in the community and get elected as an independent and not follow the PLp ubp/oba.
An independent Brangman we can be proud of

G-D Speed Great Warrior .We can all share in a celebration of his life……we all benefited from it.! We will miss you but emulate your good works you left behind as a gift for us to share and exemplify ………condolences to his family and loved ones…….
I was deeply saddened to read of the passing of Mr. Brangman while off the Island and send sincere condolences to his wife and family. In an age when we decry the lack of role models, Mr. Brangman has been an outstanding example of how to live life and be an example to others. He obtained his professional qualifications at a time when people of colour had major hurdles to overcome in order to prove their abilities. He was always so positive in every way, whether talking about his politics his country or his golf game! All those who were privileged to know him will mourne his loss but we are all better off for having Walter Brangman touch our lives. He will be sorely missed.
My sincere condolences to the family, I didn’t know Mr.Brangman very well, but I had the honor of meeting through my mother, they all grow up together. For the short time that I’ve come to know him, he was in fact a true gentlemen to everyone in life. He’ll truly be missed.
