BRYAN L. MCCANDLISH
Bryan L. McCandlish, 59, of Toledo, passed away Sunday, April 14, 2013 at his home surrounded by his loving family. He was born on March 8, 1954 in Toledo to Dean and Wilma (Bartley) McCandlish and was a 1972 graduate of Waite High School.
Bryan began his career as a Quality Technician with Alcoa, working for 10 years until their closing. He then followed his dream of owning his own restaurant, B’s Breakaway Café.
