Charles Brown

To Coach Brown's family and many friends, your sorrow and loss are shared. I only knew Coach Brown as a student, not as an athlete. But he was impressive in many respects. The magnificant '54 football season was a perennial topic of conversation when athletics were discussed. Coach Brown was the first person I ever called "COACH". He impressed me because he knew his students as well as he knew his athletes. I always felt he knew "everyone" at Churchland by name. He knew what needed to be...

To Coach Brown's family..my husband knew Coach Brown and respected him as many did..Mike died in 2002 He helped coach Deep Creek High School in Chesapeake...I know they are planning a football game in Heaven...God be with you all in your time of sorrow..A great man will be missed..

One hard nose coach. I played left linebacker(52&53) for him,he gave me my nickname,dynamite,. Dislocated knee kept me from playing in my Jr & Sr years,had a replacement 1999 @ 64 years old. I remember him telling about his service in WW II, Germany,very cold,took a bath in a river in the dead of winter. He was a winner,one of a kind. Davis Galbreath (55)...

I was proud to have played under Coach Brown. We won two state golf championships at Manor High School under his leadership in the early 1980s. He pushed us to be our best and it paid off. I had the utmost respect for him. He is a legend and he will be missed.

Coach Brown was a great influence on many students at Churchland--he was the Vince Lombardi of his time instilling that "winning was the only thing"---that is why his teams were so succesful Steve Jacobson ('56) Richmond, Va
