A Mass of Christian burial for JOSEPH MANLY BROHAWN, a youth volunteer, will be held at St. Bernadine's Roman Catholic Church. Mr. Brohawn died of cancer Wednesday at his Catonsville Home. He was 62. Born in Baltimore, he attended Ellicott City High School and entered the U.S. Navy in 1942. During WWII he served in the Pacific theater as a driver and was a storage clerk aboard the USS Calvert. He was sent to Hiroshima, Japan, three days after the first atomic bomb was dropped there. Later he wrote an article for the New York Times, describing the city's appearance.

After he returned to Baltimore he served in a variety of jobs, working as a computer operator for the city of Baltimore in the early 1960s and owing and operating Sal and Joe's Grocery in Little Italy until 1976. Between 1976 and 1980 he worked for Hedwin Plastics Corp. He then became a self-employed painter and wallpaper hanger.

In 1981 he was given the God and Youth Award by the Archdiocese of Baltimore for 25 years of service to Baltimore youth.

Surviving are his wife of 38 years, the former Concetta Glorioso; daughter, Donna Jan Brink; three sons, John Gerald, Gary William and Kevin Manly Brohawn; and six grandchildren.
