I would like to tell the Brown family how much Coach Brown was respected as our Athletic Director at NMHU in the 80s. He was caring, kind hearted and hard working for all of us. I really enjoyed being in his presence as a young NMHU athlete and cherished those times. We lost a great ambassador in Coach Brown and may he rest in peace up above.

My condolences to the Brown family, i had the honor of working for Coach Brown for the NYSP programs for a few summers and the one things ill never forget was his greeting. A firm handshake, his hand on his hips and that little tap on the shoulder. Coach u will be missed, May he RIP.

My sincerest condolences to Coach Brown's family. I enjoyed working with him at the City. He was such a jolly man and liked to joke about being from Las Tablas. May he be resting in peace.

Having only met Orlando Brown last year the impression he left was a person of dignity and pride. As an educator he was there for his students, as a coach he was a mentor to all the players he coached, as a husband he was one of those individuals where family was of the utmost importance. RIP Coach Brown you served your community at the highest level. Condolences to the family as well.
