Mr. Brown was truly a sweet, kind and humorous man. Full of wisdom and had strong family values that I truly admired. My memories of Mr. Brown are from spending many nights at the Brown family house during grammar school and from traveling back and forth to NIU when we were in college. Mr. Brown always treated me as one of his own, one of the things I will always cherish and remember. Rest now Mr. Brown, you are no longer suffering. Although you are leaving a void your legacy will live on through your family and loved ones. We love you.

What can I say about Mr. Brown. Kind, smart and quick-witted. Treated me just as good as my own father. My favorite memory of him is the time my car had a flat tire and he took time out of his day to come and fix it. Just as my own father would. Rest well Mr. Brown. You will truly be missed.

So sorry to hear about the family's loss. Although I didn't know him well he had to be a special person to raise a beautiful, intelligent young lady in you Karen. He is resting now. If there is anything we can do let me and Mr. Hatley know. We love you very much.
