Family of Keith Brown,
We have all lost a very wonderful man, with a great big smile, and caring heart. I am also one of the Phoebus girls, and will surely miss seeing him down there, and at Buckroe too. May God be with all of you.

Our sincere sympathy goes out to Keith's family. I have known Keith, Jane and Herbie since I was a little girl. After my Dad passed in 1983, Keith became my father figure. Keith was a "rock" in the Phoebus community. I will miss him, however, I will be complacent in the fact that Keith, Jane, and Herbie are all together once again. My prayer is for us all to heal and remember all the good things and times we had with the Brown family.

Sincerely,

Edna & Darryl Whittemore
Hampton, Virginia

To the brothers and sisters of Keith Brown -

You may not remember me...I was the twelve year old paperboy going down the middle of Chesapeake Avenue hollering "EXTRA" on the evening of December 7, 1941. The Hale family lived on South Mallory Street. I had several nicknames, one of which was Boots and another was Mousetrap.

When I was discharged from the Navy in 1954, Keith was working for Hampton Chevrolet as a salesman. He sold me my first car.

My memories are too numerous to put on paper as we were growing up in Phoebus.

Please accept my deepest sympathy,

Mike Nelson

Carroll, Sorry for your loss. I will always have fond memories of Keith. He was always friendly and quick with a laugh. I always enjoyed chatting with him whenever I ate at Keith's dockside. It was a privilege to have known him.

Julia, My dearest friend, I want to say how sorry I am for the loss of your brother Keith. I feel very grateful for the short time I was able to spend with him. I know he sure did love you! If I can do anything please let me know and just know you are in my prayers as always.
Your friend, Brenda

Back in the early 1980's I worked for Keith & Jane at Keith's Dockside. My time spent waitressing for them was a great experience. Between the excellent seafood we served, regular customers and staff that was like family, it was a time in my life I will always cherish.

Keith hired me to be a part time lunch waitress as I was working at another restaurant at the time but after a couple weeks of working for him I quit my other job and went to work for him, Janie & Herbie fulltime. In the years to follow as I moved on to other opportunities, Keith shared great hugs and smiles when our paths would cross.

His presence in Phoebus will be missed by many and I am truly blessed to have known him. I know Janie and Herbie were waiting for him with open arms and their family is once again united.

On behalf of all Keith's "CLC Phoebus Girls" we would like to express our love and gratitude for his friendship. He always took such good care of us when we would have our reunions at Keith's Dockside or at Freddie's house. We loved him and he loved us...he will be sorely missed!
