Dear Brian Howie Brown Family,
I have just learned from my brother, Michael, of Brian's sad passing.
Doug and I spent a lovely few hours with you , Robyn , and Brian ____at the beach a couple of years ago on a flying Southern visit! We enjoyed the warmth of your company. Brian was with the Brown clan gatherings at Weedons for many years.
He will be sadly missed by many for his kindly , smiling disposition.
My love to you all,
Lorraine Clemens, nee Manion

In addition to your Family's Memories, Brian, you will also be remembered by your remaining running peers from the 1960's for your running ability, notwithstanding your struggles with asthma, and your dedication to the Marist (later United) Running Club. Have often thought of you when driving past your Wigram Rd. home at that time and the hospitality and enjoyable runs from there. May you now rest in peace, Brian.
