Brant Hartung, 62, of Waterville, PA, previously of Lancaster, was tragically taken from this world on New Years Eve. Born in New Holland, he was the son of the late Marlowe W. Hartung and Jeanne L. (Clymer) Hartung.

Brant attended Manheim Township High School and graduated from the Woodstock Country School (Woodstock, VT) in 1975. The proud owner of 1725 Historic Witmer's Tavern Bed and Breakfast and Pandora's Antiques, Brant enjoyed meeting and making friends with his patrons.

He was an avid outdoorsman and hunter and enjoyed nature in all its beauty. A talented artist and photographer, Brant was a jack-of-all-trades. He snowplowed, landscaped, and did construction. Brant was a hard worker and always up for a challenge. He never met a task he wouldn't take on including; restoring the Inn and travelling to the Bahamas to repair the Bimini Hotel as a teenager. His most recent accomplishment was restoring his '48 Ford Panel truck.

A gentle man who loved animals, Brant had two pet squirrel monkeys (Raz & Mataz) when younger, as well as numerous cats and dogs and, recently,his flock of chickens and a stray cat.

Brant was a trusting, giving soul and was always there to lend a hand to friends and neighbors whenever asked. He will be terribly missed.

Surviving are his siblings; Pamela Hartung of Maine; Keith Hartung of Delaware; and Melissa Hartung of Lancaster, as well as three nieces and numerous cousins. He is preceded in death by his parents.
