Robert Maxwell Brown, Jr. He was a hero and friend. He was a classmate of mine in high school. He was a well-mannered, thoughtful, and kind man. He had a smile that brightened up a room. He said very little, but his presence was there. Like it is now. He loved golf and I believe tennis. He was a loyal and true friend to all who he knew. He always had kind words for everyone. He was a well dressed man. He was from a wonderful family. He was the only child. His father was a Commander(retired) from the U. S. Navy and his mother was a loving homemaker. Robert was proud to be a Marine. His untimely death shocked our small town. Those of us on the brink of leaving for military service mourned his passing. When Robert died a part of Mr.& Mrs. Brown died also. You could see it in their eyes. The way they looked at all of us, his friends. I was honored to be an honorary pallbearer at Robert's funeral. He is buried at the U.S. National Cemetery in Salisbury, N.C. under a majestic tree with cool shade in the summer and large branches to cover in the winter. I miss my friend. I take my wife and family there often to see his grave. Forever Robert Maxwell Brown, Jr. will be a Hero and my friend.
