Thomas P. Brown Jr.

a beautiful person with a beautiful heart my condolences go out to the family

My sincerest condolences to Tom´s family. Tom Brown was my principal at John Barry for many years. He was a dynamic and passionate educator. I will always remember him for his quick wit and sense of humor.

Tom was one of my favorite principals. All anyone had to say was "books" and he was in. My deepest sympathy to his family.

Tom was my principal at John Barry school and then brought me with him to Roger Sherman school. He visited my class often. Whether it was to join in the fun of pretending to be a polar bear in a giant box it reading his favorite The Big Orange Spot on orange day his enjoyment and respect of children was evident. He let me teach the way I wanted and that is saying a lot. RIP Tom

Tom was passionate about everything he did. He had a remarkable way of getting staff excited about and invested in the many new and innovative programs he piloted. I enjoyed my years working under him at John Barry. My sincere condolences to his family.

I am terribly sorry about Tom´s passing. He was a kind and gentle man-supportive of both students and staff. My sincere condolences. Gloria McLean
