My heartfelt condolences to all the Brown family. John has been such a vital force in the Arnold Patent Mutual Support Group for over 30 years, and we are all so blessed to know him. He is our leader, catalyst, and inspiration as well as a beloved friend. Although no longer with us on the physical plane, John will always be a cherished presence in our hearts and minds.

I met John many years ago through my friendship with the DeSando family. John played at one of the childrens' wedding that I attended. My oldest son was in business with Carl . Later my friend Toni Rae , a singer introduced me to john again. She sang with him sometimes and has known john a long time. I send condolences from Toni also . She does not have a computer. I thought John was a great guy and i know that Toni was very fond of him and admired his talent.She spoken of him often and wanted to call him , so she is sorry to hear of his passing. Prayers for the family from us both.
