"Brown" was one of my dearest friends in high school and into our 20s until I moved from Louisville. We kept in touch some, but not nearly enough. He was one of the kindest, funniest and most generous people I have every known. I have to smile when I remember some of our great adventures. My heart and thoughts go out to his family and friends as you deal with this tremendous loss.
