Known by us, our friends and everyone here in NC , lovingly as Uncle Brownie. He was a friend, a brother like I've never had and a great supporter to my daughter. We are so happy to have known him and have many great and fun memories. Family, be of good courage and have the strength to accept his loss. Sincere condolences from our family to yours.

Sending my prayers & condolences to his family My first month at WGC, I saw the Ques step in the Social Science bldg. I learned from that Greek show to never sit on the front row while they're stepping. After that & an apology from him, we became friends bc of Delia Hill. 🤗💐. RIP Brownie
