MOUNTAIN TOP — James G. Brown, age 89, of Mountain Top passed away on Friday, May 12, 2023, with his loving wife by his side.

Jim then served his country in the U.S. Army, stationed in Germany from 1954 to 1956, during the Korean War. After an honorable discharge he worked as a toolmaker at Westinghouse Electric in East Pittsburgh, and then continued his education attending Wilkes College, where he met his future wife and received a Bachelor's Degree in business administration in 1961.

Jim was a member of the American Legion Post 781, Mountain Top, the Kingston Lodge #395 Free & Accepted Masons, and the Cardinal Club. For many years he played on the RCA softball team, and he enjoyed golfing, fishing, gardening and especially traveling and visiting casinos with his wife.

To all my Brown cousins, their spouses and children, my dear Aunt Jane, and everyone of our extended family who gathered under the watchful eye of my Uncle Jim:
We´ve lost our patriarch. He loved and enjoyed his family as much as anything in his life. I will be forever grateful to him for the care he took of his mother, my beloved grandmother. My memories of him are vivid from the first time I remember my doting "bachelor" uncle to the last time I talked to him on the phone about our Welsh family tree. I will miss him so very much. Mizzy and I send our love, Lynne

What can we say a great loss to the Brown´s and extended family grandpa Brown always treated us like family always had a good joke. A true and genuine man with a great smile and who loved a good cigar when offered. He will be greatly missed but passes on his traditions to his children and family. our greatest sympathies are with the whole family. He will be greatly missed. Dio Benedici. (God Bless)

I got my very first job at RCA in September of 1969. Jim was my first supervisor and what a wonderful boss! None ever compared to him and I am glad to have known him. So very sorry for your loss!

its a sad day to hear the demise of our dear friend Jim Brown and he was a very kind and soft spoken man. We had great time fishing near the Mountaintop creeks and river. Our deepest condolences to Jim Brown's family.
