Dear Brown family, I'm so very sorry for your loss. Mr.B was always one of my favorite people. Mr.and Mrs. B were a huge presence in my adolescence. I have fond memories of them being councilors for M.Y.F., riding horse and refereeing the boys. I know Mr.B will be missed by family and friends. I am happy to have known him.
