He was also a founder of St. Mary's College MBA program, and held several board of director roles, including Schwab Trust for over 30 years.

Mr. Brown was my mom´s boss when I was growing up. Whenever I would come in to the city and visit the office, he would engage me in conversation and make me feel welcome; not like a kid. He was a really nice man. I´m very sorry for your family´s loss.

Marilyn, Susie, Judie, John,
I cannot tell you how sad I was when Michael called to tell me that George passed away. We cried and then we started telling our George stories and thank goodness we were able to laugh, because George was one of those people who was funny but didn´t really know it. I think those of us who were fortunate enough to have known him and worked with
him for many years will agree that he was a major force in our lives. It was never about him, he was always trying to help everyone else succeed so that they could have a better life.
We lost a great human being. I know he will be dearly missed by his beautiful family and many, many friends.
My deepest condolences to the entire Brown Family
