Joe L. Brown

I owned Tutor and Spunky's Deli in Dana Point, California, from 1988 until January 2015. In the early 1990s, Joe Brown came to the deli often. We became friends.

Wonderful memories!!!

I have great memories of Joe L Brown. He had his good trades and his bad trades, but the minor league/scouting system was terrific!

I got to know Joe L. Brown through his lovely daughter, Cynthia, who is a special friend of mine. He was smart, witty, and full of vinegar--a huge presence wherever he was! He was a great dad to Cynthia and made me feel welcome whenever I was in his company. He will be missed by all who knew him.

Mr. Brown was a great man and wonderful friend of my parents. I have great memories of him and Din at parties during the Pittsburgh years. Mr. Brown also sent me a letter while I was in the Gulf War in Saudi Arabia, for which I will always be grateful. On behalf of my sister Betsy and our family, I wish to add my sincere condolences.
