Dear Bill, During the many times that we fished together, I learned the true meaning of friendship. You had a knack for listening to people and making them feel comfortable. As I type this message, I think of you and smile. Someone wrote of your love for animals. I want to add that you were wise, and you were a GENTLEMAN in every way.
May you "Rest In Peace." Chuck

REST IN HEAVEN MY DEAR DAD!

Word's can not explain how heavey my ❤ is right now knowing your no longer here with us. With so many feelings lefted unsaid, and so many questions unanswered, I regret nothing or blame anyone. I/we are so blessed to have been apart of each other's lives, and to have been born into the family that we share. For that I am eternally greatful. The love shown from one house to another, family to family, from one end of Institute street to thee other, nothing mattered because in good or bad times we were all there for each other. When one person lefted the other's filled in, and everyone made sure all of us kids had from clothes, toys all the way down to being chastise, punished to the talks, hugs and kisses. Me, Mikey and Billy are proud to call you our father. Your ❤ showed everyone you came in contact with exactly who you were and what our family stood for. You loved your wife Lorie unconditionally and my ❤ aches for her at this time as well for she returned it all back caring and loving you until thee end. You also showed your loving ❤ by not only caring for your own pet's, but by also caring for stray animals. It is also important to me to acknowledge his beautiful one and only sister Constance Brown (whom I was named after) and with whom he shared a mutual, incredable love with inspite of life's ups and downs, his brother-in-law Joe Brown who is now deceased his 3 nephews Marc who is also deceased, Keith and Richard Brown in recognition of the special bond that each of them shared with my dad along with a host of other family and friend's. Daddy you was a hardworking just all around good guy not to mention handsome who was not perfect, but perfect in my eye's allways. Daddy's little girl I am and allways will be. You will be forever loved and missed by us all!!! I Love you until thee end of time your one and only loving daughter Connie

A message for my Dad,

Words cant express the way I feel about the loss of my father! I love you more then life and am saddened that you had to leave us. I know you are in a better place and now you don't have to suffer any longer on this place we call earth. You were loved by everyone that you knew and came in contact with. My heart goes out to your wife Laurie for the suffering she is going thru at this moment. Your 3 children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and many other family members, loved you and will remain strong as we go thru this difficult time as a family. Your sister Connie, Uncle Joe, your nephews Ricky, Keith, and Marc, loved you and your wife through all the good and bad times we've shared. I will always be grateful of being able to call you my dad!! Love your son Mikey!

Rest In Peace Uncle Billy. You know how much we all loved You. No one could ever erase the love and support we all gave to each other on Institute Street.

I know Nonnie is happy to have her boy home in heaven. My heart weeps. Your Nephew Ricky
