Leo Brown

Leo J. Brown, Jr. passed away Wednesday, January 11, 2017. Born to Kathryn and Leo J. Brown, Sr. he was raised in Saratoga Springs, NY. He was a proud alumnus of the University of Notre Dame, class of ’50. He served in the US Army during the Korean conflict and was a career-long employee of General Electric/Trane Air Conditioning. He was a devoted husband to Barbara Haragan Brown for 63 years. Daddy loved to travel and had a bag packed before you could finish the sentence “Want to go to...?” He had a fantastic green thumb and found immense joy in his garden. He might have been a pastry chef in another lifetime and was famous for his bread pudding and apple crisps. But more than anything else, he loved his family. Nothing gave him greater pleasure than having a houseful of kids, grandkids, and great-grandkids running around in general organized chaos. Besides mom, left to celebrate his life are his children: Mary Pat, Catherine (Andy), Margaret (Dave), Mary Barbara, Leo (Kaye), Anne (Michael), and Richard (Carrie); his grandkids Christopher, James, Margaret, Leo IV (Kelly), Andrew, Matthew, Bridget, Kaitlin, Collin, Eric, and Chloe; and great-grandkids Annabelle, Elaine, Scarlett, and Daniel; his sister, Ann and his “outlaws” Bob, Dick, and Ann; and many nieces and nephews. Visitation will be Tuesday, January 17 from 3:00-7:00 p.m. at Highlands Funeral Home, 3331 Taylorsville Road. A celebration of life Mass will be Wednesday, January 18 at 10:00 a.m. at the Church of the Epiphany, 914 Old Harrods Creek Road. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to St. Vincent de Paul, Dare to Care, or the National Park Foundation. A heavenly ND tailgating party has begun. Go Irish!
