To Yorel, Dee, Oscar and the Browne Family,

Let me first extend my sincere and most heartfelt condolences to you and your families in the loss of your father, brother and my brother and friend, LeRoy A.S. Browne.

I thank God for the remarkable opportunity and experiences that he allowed me to share with LeRoy as we fought for Economic Equity, Social Justice, Civil Rights and the improvement of the Quality of Life for people throughout South Jersey.

Whether it was issues around housing, employment, local or state government, Politics, the judicial system, or advocating for Minority Owned Contractors, Vendors or Businesses, the Mainland Branch of the N.A.A.C.P. was in the forefront through his leadership.

I am endebted to LeRoy forever for having the faith and confidence in me at an early stage of my adult life to serve in the capacities of leadership that he placed me into.

It was through these baptisms that I was able to develop the skills, confidence and abilities that have molded and shaped me to this very day.

In our life and times here on this planet, we are obligated to live a life that has contributed to the betterment of our fellow man. LeRoy has made a significant contribution to the history and betterment of this region.

Sincerely,

Clint Walden & Family
