Gordon Ray Brown ’43

Gordon died May 4, 2003, in his Southbury, Conn., home following an extended bout with respiratory problems. He was 81.

A native of Buffalo, N.Y., he came to Princeton from the Taft School. On campus Gordon roomed all four years with Sandy Lewis, plus Johnny Farrar junior year. A politics major, he worked on the business side of the Daily Princetonian, belonged to Charter Club, and was in NROTC.

During WWII, he served in the Navy. Gordon's first employment was with Western Electric.

He also graduated from Fordham Law School and became a member of the New York bar. Gordon's practice was a long and varied one, ranging from in-house counsel for a large corporation to private practice and counsel for the Methodist Church. During his later years, Gordon taught intellectual property law at the U. of Hawaii and was certified to practice before the US Supreme Court. He is survived by his wife of many years, Florence Mary; sons Bill and Leigh; and five granddaughters. To the entire family, we extend our most sincere condolences.
