Charles Brown and family your loss is being shared by many of coach brown's followers.My husband was very close to Charlie,what we called him when speaking with him. I was very fortunate to have spent some quality time with he and Coach McClarty in January when they came to Baton Rouge for the Hall of Fame opening. We had a wonderful visit. My memories of him lead me to remember all the good times we had with him. I remain, Mrs. Jim Graves.(vida)

A CHAMPION SPIRIT
By Eric Dawson
Right Guard
Class of 1981
C ourage to fight for the country he loved
H elping hands and a heart sent from Heaven above
A lways dedicated to some worthy cause
R egardless of fanfare, praise or applause
L ending life-lessons on and off the field
I nfinite integrity was his major appeal
E goism was a doctrine he did not share
B ringing compassion and humility to all in his care
R evered by many, defeated by few
O riginal, extraordinary was the Coach that we knew
W hen time stands still and nations go awry
N ever will we forget you….SEMPRE FI!
My deepest sympathies and best wishes go out to the Brown Family and all who were touched by his life and legacy; he will be missed!

Dear Mrs Brown and Family
I would like to add my name to the long list of those that loved and admired Coach Brown. He was so gentle and yet a "fireball" when it came to his Tigers.
God bless you all,
Mary Albright Dezendorf
