May God bless his family and he will live in our hearts forever. With sincerest condolences, Shirlyn & Calvin

Professor Bill Brown was a significant leader at UMBC Theatre. A member of the founding faculty, he served 16 years as department chair, and has continued to support today's theatre majors with the William T. Brown Scholarship; so many have benefited.

Bill and I were there together his first day at UMBC. He was a wonderful and patient teacher, mentor and friend. As a theatre teacher I often talk about him, think about him and recount stories about our time together. Bill, you will be missed!
