August 30, 1932 – May 18, 2011
Robert H. "Budge" Brown, Sr. resident of Gardnerville, NV, born in Stockton, CA and long-time resident of Manteca, CA.
Among his many hobbies and pleasures, along with spending time with his family, were flying, swimming, hunting, boating, SCUBA diving, wine and travel.
Budge was the quintessential entrepreneur who was a farmer all of his life and founded many companies including Brown Sand, Inc. He is probably most fondly remembered as the founder of the Manteca Waterslides and inventor of the modern fiberglass waterslide tube. In his later years, he pursued his passion for farming and wine by combining the two and founding Tulip Hill Winery. After the death of his wife Arlene from Breast Cancer in 2005 he wanted to make a difference. In 2008 he founded Cleavage Creek Winery in Napa County and focused his time, energy and resources into donating 10% of the gross sales to fund cutting-edge breast cancer research and support.
Preceding him in death is his beloved wife of 48 years Arlene Marie Mantelli Brown.
