Thanks for this obituary, Nadine. It was very nostalgic and informative to me. As I started reading it, I thought that it was just another person that I didn't know, but when I got to Charmagne's daughter, Barbara Keating, I said they were my neighbors for twenty years. We lived two doors down from the Brown's on the 900 block of East Miflin Street all those years. Barbara and I played together as kids for some ten years. That really takes me back! My mother, Theodora, who passed away in 1997, would have liked to have sent her condolences to the Brown family as she talked with Charmagne from time to time and always enjoyed it. They went to different high schools together, my mother to East and Charmagne to Central, I now know! I really didn't know anything about the Browns after they left Mifflin Street around 1970. We moved from 932 East Mifflin to Toban Drive in 1973.
My sincere condolences to the entire Brown family and especially to Barbara! God Bless!!
