Obituary For Richard Brown

Richard Steven Brown died on September 4, 2021 quietly at his home. Richard was born December 5, 1951 in New York City Harlem Hospital. The son of Richard Brown Sr. and Pearl Teresa Glass/Stanard. Richard attended the New Jersey Dwright Morrow High School where he graduated in 1970. During his younger years he worked at the United States Post Office in Englewood, New Jersey as a diligent and qualified employee fulfilling the necessary conditions of a mail handler. Sometime after, he voluntarily enlisted into the Marine Corps where he served his country with pride and dignity on coasts and borderlines of Vietnam. It is said in two of their marine logos, #1 “Once a Marine always a Marine” and #2 “No man ever gets left behind”. While residing in Chicago Illinois, Richard worked at Zenith Manufacturer Plant, where they assembled televisions and Swiss luxury watches, which were shipped to different parts of the world. In 1999, Richard started working at Times Square Alliance as a New York sanitation custodian employee who would say with such pride and dignity with his chest poked out with two thumbs pointing to himself “I’m a garbage man”. He stole this line from the comical sitcom The Rock. What will stand out above all is the day he laid his eyes on his beloved wife Marilyn where he was completely swept off his feet by cubit. Not long after, he became her husband and she, his wife. Their union lasted 20 years. Richard is preceded in death by his parents, Richard Brown Sr. and Pearl Teresa; and brother David B. Glass. He leaves behind in remembrance his younger brother Lawrence Brown, his younger sister Deborah Brown; his children Ricjana Carter, Faith Carter and Grady Carter; nine grandchildren; his loving wife Marilyn Paul Brown; brother-in-law Hank Paul; nephews Jason, Chris, and Terrance Brown; his grandnieces and grandnephews Tiyana, Christopher and Cory Brown; a host of aunts, uncles. nieces, cousins, and friends. Richard will be dearly missed by those who knew and loved him and he remember by what he shared with them.
