Joseph Brown

A truly good man, Joe was.

So sorry to hear of my cousin's passing. I have been living on Guam for some years.

Joe was a great person and friend. We remember the good times, his humor and knowing smile.

Joe was a fine person whom I knew from the early days of the Disc Count House and later Home Entertainment and IAV. I haven't kept in touch in the last few years. May he rest in peace.

As an employee working for Joe for 17 years I can say that he was a great man and a rare example of great leadership. The measure of a man is not in his monetary wealth, but the positive effect he has on the people around him. In this he was truly wealthy as he set a great example for me and everyone I worked with. We worked hard for Joe because we liked him and did not want to disappoint him. His principles led us as employees and business people to be successful in our lives after we...

I am very proud to call Joe a friend and mentor. Joe gave me an opportunity when I needed it and I will never forget that. I enjoyed working for and with him for 19 years at H.E. He had a great sense of humor and loved trading fishing stories. He was always there for me with sage advice, generous support and leadership. Joe was an authentic Texas gentleman that we should never forget. My prayers are with Joe and his family.

My deepest sympathy goes to the friends and family of Mr. Brown.May God a source of support in these sad times. My he give you the strength to continue as we wait for the time when we will be able to see our loved ones again. (Acts 5:28).

Joe Brown will be fondly remembered as both a gentleman and one of the true pioneers of audio/video industry here in Houston. His door was always open, and whether we were discussing the actions of the local competition, or the accomplishments of one of his kids, I will always treasure our friendly conversations & his timely sage advice.

I had been laid off as a disc jockey and had an interest in stereo. I had never worked in sales, but I stopped in at the Kirby store to ask about work. Joe hired me and began a 37 year run. It was always a pleasure to know that I could stroll around the corner and drop into the office of the owner of the company anytime for a visit. He is dearly missed as is the company he founded. My condolences to the family.
