These pictures are from the day I was born and shortly after in my grandfathers arms. From that moment on my grandfather was a teacher, a listener, a laugher, and a mentor to me in different ways. The memories are endless. We connected in a big way with sports. Baseball, football, bowling, and golf. My grandfather built the little league fields I played on as a kid. He came to 100âs of my baseball games, many football games to watch me play. I know he was proud of me. We won many games and lost others and he was there. He didnât just impact my life as a man or athlete but so many others and Iâm proud of that. Proud my grandfather impacted others. Was a dad to many who are now men but didnât have support when they were younger. Taking me to work with him showing me the ropes of what he does to provide all those great memories of holidays at the old house on Isle Royale street. Hunting trips, fishing trips, traveling to New York City. The list goes on and on. My Marine Corps graduation ceremony he was there. In conclusion the mora is Grampa Brown was there. He was there for me. I love him for that and so much more.

Ed will always be in my heart and thoughts forever. He was always so positive about his outlook on life and woke up every morning with a smile on his face. He was loved by all who met him and he impacted their lives. A very likable person. We joined together at a tragic time in our life after both of us lost our spouses of many years. We were friends for over 30 years and our spouses were sick at the same time in the same hospital. We were drawn together for support and it helped us to get through it. We were together for 9-1/2 years and married for 6 years. We were married on my birthday in 2013. We traveled to many parts of the world on cruises and also had a timeshare in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. That was his favorite place on earth and even made friends there too. They always gave him a hug when they saw him coming. This photo of him was one of many we took on our honeymoon while on a 15 day cruise from Quebec, Canada to Florida. I found a paper in his wallet I had forgotten I gave him and I must share what it said, it touched my heart to know how much it meant to him to still carry it. It said: âEvery woman deserves a man who calls her baby. He kisses her like he means it, holds her like he never wants to let her go, doesnât cheat on her, wipes her tears when she cries, doesnât make her jealous of other women, instead makes other woman jealous of her, is not scared to let friends know how he feels about her, and lets her know how much he really loves her.â SIGNED: Eddie, You are that guy. He always called me DARLING or MOM. I love you Ed with all my heart and sole and you impacted my life in so many ways and made me a better person. Your positive attitude made an impact on me. Ed was quite the story teller mostly about his experiences in life and sports. He loved it when I knew what was happening with a game and knew the rules. He said he was so proud of me. He said that words can't describe his love for me, and I felt the same wa

My grandfather and I are very different people, but we had a bond that was stronger than life itself. Growing up it was difficult to be a Brown boy for me. My Dad, uncles, cousins, and my brother loved sports, both to play and watch. Sports were a way for our family to bond, connect, and an excuse to spend time together. I didnât particularly care for team sports in general. This left me feeling naturally (and unintentionally) a bit alienated from the rest of the family. I hadnât discovered my personal talents until my early high school years. Prior to that time Grandpa would sit with me on occasion and try to help me discover what sports I might enjoy. âWhat do you think about track, swimming, soccer?â he would ask. I briefly engaged with some of those sports, but I wasnât motivated. He had a hard time connecting over other topics so the conversation usually stopped there. But he cared for me so he kept trying. I finally hit my stride when in high school I took a chance and joined a musical theater production. I found my greatest talent: singing and musical theater. It was wonderful for me. I had never felt so fulfilled and happy. I called my grandmother Marlene and told her about my upcoming musical theater performance at my high school and invited her up. Grandpa got on the phone. He said âwhatâs going on now, a play?â I said yes grandpa, I would love for you to come. He agreed. The night of the performance I could hear my grandfather and grandmother laughing and clapping from their seats when I was on stage. After the show I walked down to greet the family and my grandfather grabbed my shoulder from behind me, turned me around, and with slight yet distinctive tears in his eyes he said the following to me: âWhat you just did on that stage was better than any grand slam I have ever seen, I am so proud of you and had no idea you could do thatâ. Seeing me on stage opened up his mind to other activities other than sports and frankly opened his wo

A Tribute to my Grandpa Brown My Dear Grandpa, I have always appreciated you being in my life. There's not a time in my life that I remember that you weren't a part of it. And not just the events either. Your relationship with me has been constant and a source of light in my life. I have felt your love my whole life and continue to feel it today. I remember going to Oakland A's games with you, just you and I, when I was young. You bought us hot dogs, and I got sour kraut on mine. I also remember you buying me my own set of golf clubs and you taking me golfing, again, just you and I. I remember all the countless times you came to my ball games, plays and graduations. You coming to my game to watch me umpire a few years back was also pretty neat. Your love of baseball makes me love the sport even more. I also have fond memories of you teaching me how to drive. You were so laid back and accommodating. It boosted my confidence. You've always been there. I love you very much Grandpa. I have always felt like I was at home in your home. Isle Royal was a place of love. So many changes over the last 5 years. The loss of Dad still aches every day in my heart. I know he loves you and he loves me and he kept you in my life from birth so I could always feel of your love. Dad's influence in my life has made me the man I am today. You raised a very loving Son. I want you to know how much I love him and how he was a constant anchor in my life. Good Dad's don't just fall out of the sky. They are raised. Because you loved him, he was able to show his love for me and my siblings. I know Dad loved me very much; he told me all the time, and I always felt it. There was never a doubt. I would be lost without having a good Dad like my Dad was to me. I feel close to you when I feel Dad's love. We are family. I feel Dad's spirit close. Today, I am so happy you found Jacquie. She is such a blessing to the family. She is a very strong woman who brings additional stabi
