Irene and I just learned of Roy's passing yesterday and we are deeply saddened. Having met Lois some twenty five years ago when she served on the Dade County Grand Jury we then and thereafter came to know Roy and his wonderful family by becoming customers at Campus Cleaners. Roy was a warm and gracious man and we will miss him greatly. But we have had the blessing of having known him and he will always be remembered.

Our deepest sympathy to Lois and the family. Roy was a congenial man with a sense of humor and it was always a pleasure to be with him. I moved away a couple of years ago, but I shall always remember our weekly poker game. He'll be missed by all who knew him.

Mr. Browman was a first class individual, tough exterior when needed, along with a great sense of humor. He was a straight shooter and a man of deep integrity.



I grew up with his sons, most notably the eldest, Howard, having been in first grade with him and thru MDCC. To me, he was like the Godfather of the Dry Cleaning Family business he started some 44 years ago. I loved seeing him there each week when dropping off and picking up our cleaning, and talking sports and other timely events with him.



I know that the entire family will rally around Mrs. Browman, particularly with this being Mother' Day during this tough time. She too, like everyone in this wonderful family is top notch.



Mr. Browman was a class act and will be missed dearly by my wife and me.

I was saddened to read of Roy's passing this morning in the paper, especially since we now live in your neighborhood and have often meant to stop by and say "Hi Brow", but haven't yet. I have such fond memories of your warm household, playing cards 'til all hours of the night, and stopping by Campus Cleaners to pick up my shirts on the way to work. Nancy and I wish all of you our heartfelt sympathies. Please know the Roy touched more lives than just yours.
