Stephens Porter Brown ’32

Body

Steve Brown died June 23, 1996, at Mt. Pleasant Retirement Village in Monroe, N.J. He had moved there after retirement with his wife, Barry, who had developed Alzheimer's disease and who predeceased him in 1992.

Not long after college, Steve went into the life insurance business, which engaged him for 45 years. He retired in 1986 from Massachusetts Mutual Insurance Co. as a v.p.

While the Browns lived on Long Island's North Shore and their daughter was in school, Steve served on the board of education advisory committee to help implement a new school building program, and he also headed the adult committee of a youth center program.

The class offers its deep sympathy to Steve's daughter, Jill B. Hurlbrink, and a grandson, Gregory S. Hurlbrink.
