My condolences to Mark and Cathy and to the Brown family for the loss of a wonderful man.
Mr. Brown was a mentor and guide for me during my years of teaching at the Swartz building. His style of teaching, his manner
with the students, his sense of humor, all played a role in my career and life. My son, Brian Albert, is named for him. I
send my good thoughts and warm memories to you all.

My heartfelt condolence to your family. I had Mr. Brown for typing when I was in 10th grade. He was one of my favorite
teachers. He had a passion for teaching as well as a deep sense of caring for his students.

My
deepest sympathy to Mark and Cathy and all of the Brown family. Mr. Brown was my favorite teacher ever, the best I ever had;
caring, attentive and a (literally) towering example of positivity, strength & character. In the years immediately following
my high school graduation, I attended many basketball games with Mr. Brown and Cathy during the "glory years" of
the program and they are some of the fondest memories of my life. Over the passing years, I've had many frequent fond
rememberances of Mr. Brown and shall continue to do so for the rest of my life. May God bless you, Mr. Brown, and may He wrap
his loving arms tightly around you. They don't build 'em like you anymore!
