“Even though I know all about the texters\/drunks\/illegals driving here, and even though it’s rush hour, and even though I’m not very experienced at this, I think i’m going to go ride my bike 8 inches from traffic.”
I worked for Browns right out of college for over a decade. (1990-2000) Then I freelanced through Browns for about four more years. I would still be there if I hadn’t moved out of state. Steve Brown was a wonderful person and I will truly miss him. I spoke to him last month and he would still ask me “when you coming back to work for me”. Steve you were one in a million and I am glad I had the chance to know you, and call you my friend. My sincere condolences to Dana, Susie, Andrew, Jordan and the entire Browns Family.
Baruch Dayan Emeth.
Sympathies to Dana, Andrew, Suzie, Jordan and to the entire Browns Team.
Steve Brown was an exceptional Boca Raton businessman and a friend. He ran his business with vision, professionalism and a genuine care and concern for his clients. While Steve will be tremendously missed, his legacy and memory will carry on for all of us who were fortunate to know him.
