Charles A. Brown ’46

Treas. Charlie Brown, age 77, died of cancer on Nov. 11, 2000, in West Chester, Pa., where he lived and near where he was born. He prepared for Princeton at the Hotchkiss School in Connecticut. Entering Princeton in 1942, then serving two years as a Marine first lt. in Guam, Hawaii, and China, Charlie returned to play varsity football and other sports and graduated as a history major in 1948.

His career of some 37 years with Owens-Corning Fiberglass took the Browns (he married Elizabeth Broadbent in 1948), to Ohio, Madison, N.J., Strafford, Pa., Des Peres, Mo., and the Philadelphia area, where he retired in 1985. An avid golfer, Charlie's lifelong rival was his twin brother, Walter (Yale '45). He was an active church member of Wayne Presbyterian and was always strong in class affairs, having served as v.p., class agent, and treas. since 1991.

Surviving are his widow, Betty, sons Charles III '72, Michael, and Craig, daughter Katharine, brother Walter, eight grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren. To all the family, the class extends deepest sympathy.
