I was so sorry to hear of Mr Brown passing. I was a manager of the Conway waffle house when I got married march 23rd 2002 he said he would make sure I got to the church on time. He picked me and my bridal party up in a 1935 Red Cadillac convertible and drove us to the wedding. He was such an awesome man! He made my day even more special by getting us there all the beautiful pictures. My prayers are with his family you truly lost a special person. Loved and respected him alot.
