I am former employee from Gasngo in granite,I had recently left this month. My heart just broke when I heared of his passing, Mr.Brown was a regular customer & he was definitely a favorite of all who work(ed) there . There was never a time he wouldn't come in with out that smile,always so polite & well mannered,customers like him could turn a bad day at work into something good. I loved all the times he would come & definitely missed as his didnt come in as much but all of us were even more happier to see him then. Mr. Brown had one of the most joyful & blessed souls I'd ever met & I will always cherish the man he was ,so thankful to have gotten to know him. He will be greatly missed. Praying for his family during this time.

All I have is memories of a very happy, smart classmate and cousin from the days of Hart County Training School and Zion Church. I haven't seen Thomas since then, around fifty years, but I remember the chalkboard battles in math class and I always think of Thomas around Easter without fail. I am happy to know that he has people who remember him as a friend. My deepest heartfelt prayers and condolences
go out to Eva, Mary, Michael, Dennis and Felton. May God provide comfort and peace to you.
