Brown Family: My sincere condolences, as losing one as significant as a Father is a true trial. Ask that God may comfort the family and send peace knowing he is at rest. Just knowing the few memories I have of Richard is indicative of how rich his legacy will be. May God Bless you

Ellen, kids, and families
So sorry to hear about Rich's passing.  However, we ARE "THAT" age already, and it sounds like he lived a rich and full life. stayed married to his only wife, AND, kept the Faith!!  Great accomplishments! I went to all 12 years of school with Rich, and, for awhile,  after he moved from near the convent, over to Hyde Avenue, he lived right across the (used to be) prairie from me.  You all have my sympathy and prayers.  Remember, you can still talk with Rich, whenever you like, and with your prayers, the pain of loss will become more bearable. ....... till we all meet again!

To the Brown Family - Bob and Teresa,
I am very sorry to learn of the death of your father.  It is never easy to prepare for or to manage the varied emotions.  I certainly remember the two of you as outstanding young adults and having that extra gift of athletic talent.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Sincerely
Peter Grant

Mary Mutch Metz added on 02/27/2017 at 9:17 pm 
I went to grade school and high school with Rich, but what I remember most is the fun we had playing "cut the pie" in the snow on the lot next to his home. We hung out with Thomas Neuverth and Carol Bakalars, and had many good times on Hyde St. We were in 7th and 8th grade at that time,  I'll always remember how tall he was. I'm so glad he made it to the 50th class reunion of Aquinas. How lucky you are, Eileen, to be married to such a nice guy. you'll miss him terribly. Sincere sympathies.
Mary

So sorry to read about Rich in the paper. What a huge loss. Rich was a wonderful and talented man.

Rich Brown was liked by all who knew him.  He loved golf, a good laugh and being amongst his good friends. Those of us who had Rich in their life's are better for it. 
Our deepest sympathy to you Eileen and family.
