Yesterday my heart broke as I heard the news of Dr. Brown. I was told he was doing better. Many of you knew him as a friend, co-worker,coach or relative. I knew him as a tireless and dedicated teacher. I learned so many lessons from Dr. Brown. I often find myself in the classroom thinking what would he do or how would Dr. Brown handle this situation. He is somebody I want to be like. I still have the red pen he gave me when he corrected my problem/thesis. It had to be perfect. I will never forget all the things he taught me. One is nobody cares about why your work is not the best or why your late. He said there are no room for excuses. He was so right. I will miss him so very much and my prayers go out to his son,daugher, grandson who I hear he loved so dearly and of course Bett. I know he will be waiting on you in Heaven when you get there and I bet he will ask you to make your Blueberry Yum Yum.

Love Always Beth Richards

No one can know the heaviness your heart holds, but have hope in knowing he is with the Lord and they both shall look over you. Take comfort in all of the beautiful memories you shared.

What can I say about Scrap? Met him when he was 12 years of age, loved him all these years. He was truly "one of a kind". I can still see him as a tall lanky boy swinging on a fence gate. Last time I spoke with him (just a few days before he went home) he sounded just like his old self and when he knew it was me he answered by saying "War Eagle" because he knew I am a Bama fan. I loved him and his family and he will truly be missed. Now I say," Doctor Brown, go try to beat your Mother in a game of canasta". You will linger in our hearts forever.

My memories of Scrap are of a fun person to be with who was always very positive he wouldn't get caught. We spent many a fun time at college football games and at our own games in high school. May God bless you Bette as you continue with life and memories.

It is our prayer that memories of happier times will sustain you all in the coming days! We love you and if we can do anything to help you, you have only to make the request. Take care of each other!

I hope that the warmth of having friends and family with you through

this difficult time serve as a reminder of the love that Scrap shared with every one he knew. As each day passes comfort will be found in remembering the little things too! Take care and let the memories fill your heart where it may feel empty.

Bett and family, Hugh and I are so sorry about the passing of Scrap Iron. My fondest memories are watching Scrap Iron and "all of the other guys" playing half rubber on Folly Beach every summer.

Those are great times we all had and wonderful memories. Please know that Hugh and I are praying for you and your family during these difficult times. Carole Mims

Scrap has been a wonderful friend. He has been so special with every encounter we shared. He was the kindest gentleman I have known. I will miss him every day for the rest of my life.

He left behind a loving family and beautiful grandson, Andrew, who will be there to fill that empty place in our heart. Please get to know this beautiful child and transfer the love.
