Our deepest sympathies to the Brown family. Mr. Brown was a great neighbor and friend. He was a kind and gentle man who was always willing to help. We had some great talks when seeing him sitting outside. He was much more than a neighbor. My wife and I considered him part of our family. He will surely be missed.

I am so sorry to hear about Jackie's passing. When we were both young children we were inseparable down at Nany Browns's house. Only he and I know who took the banana, some 75 years ago at Nany's house. I will never forget him.

Jackie will be sorely missed when the cousins lunches resume. It was amazing the lunches he prepared, from appetizers to main course to dessert, and served beautifully. We shared great food with a lot of laughs and sweet memories. Love and miss you already, Jack

He was my kid brother all of his life. As children, under the direction of our parents, I held his hand when we crossed the streets of Pawtucket. And I held his hand through his final breath. I will be forever grateful to his wonderful son, Allen for delaying my departure by a few minutes last Wednesday and to his loving daughter, Brenda for calling us to his side during his last few moments of life. Much love, Uncle Ken

To the Brown family, I didn't know John personally, but I am sorry for your loss. I know how difficult it is to loose someone we love to Death. What I found comforting is what the Bible says about death at John 5:28 29. Please read it and find the same comfort I've found. Or visit jw.org for more information.

I would like to express my condolences to your family, it can be hard for friends and family to find the right words to express at difficult times like these. The Bible is a great source to look into and has helped me personally when My dad passed away. Jesus Christ promised that millions now dead will live again on this earth and have the prospect of remaining on it forever in a peaceful beautiful paradise earth. (Isaiah 35:5,6 John 5:29) A comforting thought is at Revelation 21:3,4, where it states "...And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry be anymore the former things have past away". This scripture gives us hope for the future! You can also find comfort in Acts 24:15 - Death does not end it all. May Jehovah God bring you comfort and peace during this difficult time. (Ps.46:1, Ps.83:18)

Jack Brown will be missed. He was the best father-in-law a girl could have. As I told him before his passing, he gave me the greatest gift, his son, Alan. I promised to love him and take care of him always. Jack, I will miss you and I love you.

I am very saddened to hear of the death of cousin Jack. I remember the time when Ian and I visited him at his home, when he served a lobster dinner that he prepared especially for us. It was a wonderful occasion. He was a well liked person and it is so sad when a family member passes away. I send my heartfelt sympathy and condolences to all. I am sure he will be sadly missed. I am sorry to be so far away at this time.
Love to all. Cousin Beatrice and family.

Condolences to the entire family. Particular message to the Franco family, especially Joey and Anthony. Grandfathers have a way of making your childhood unforgettable. I remember the days you boys would run with excitement when you would see your grandpa’s car parked in front of the house. The admiration and respect was evident in your face as you ran down the street to greet him. My children were also lucky to share in a glimpse of those unforgettable memories, they were touched by his kindness. Thank you for allowing us to be part of the unforgettable. May peace be with you.
