Greg, your father was indeed a special man, one that I shall remember for a long time. He gave to his country, his church, his family, and to all mankind. May God be with you in this time of difficulty.

Greg,
I would like to offer you and your family my sincere condolences. I worked for Mr. Brown in the grocery store many years ago when I first moved to this area. I was 19. He and your mother were great hardworking folks. I'm sure you have wonderful memories.

Mr. Brown will be greatly remembered and all the kind things that he has done for our community. He would take kids and let them work and treated them like family. Our heart felt prayers are with the family.

Our sympathy is extended to the family of James. We have known the Browns for many years and always looked forward to seeing them at church when we came "home." We also looked forward to good Southern cooking at the restaurant. They were both very special people. Doyal and Drue Wright
