Uncle Clyde was a true inspiration in my life. As my father said not just my brother in law but a true friend and brother to me. We will miss his smiles and his wonderful sense of humor.
From my family to yours we wish him all the peace that heaven can provide a great man and father.

My grandfather was a great man and I will miss as much 10 years from now as I do today. He was there for me whenever I needed help and advice. I will always use what he tought me those days in the garden and at the camp. The lessons of life that tought me not how to get rich with money but rich on a good life. Thank you Grandpa. You where my hero and so important to so maney people
Brownie and Debbie, We are sorry about the loss of your father. Hugs for you both.
To the Brown family…..My thoughts and prayers are with you. One thing I remember Mr. Clyde Brown when I had an accident right by his house. He was right there to help. He passed that characteristic down to his family. He will be remember fondly. Peace.
