In loving memory of Gregory Thomas Brown, husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather: Gregory T. Brown passed away Wednesday, March 11, 2020 at age 88 in his home in Dobbs Ferry, NY with Mary (Marion) M Mullen, his loving wife of 63 years, by his side. Greg, or as lovingly called “Red”, was born on October 16, 1931 in Brooklyn, New York. He proudly served in the Korean War, as a Sergeant in the Air Force and as a Sergeant in the New York City Police Department. He enjoyed summers at his house in Smallwood, NY. He valued hard work and education. He loved to debate current events around the breakfast table. He had an encyclopedic knowledge of politics and world history –– as he began each day reading at least one newspaper from cover to cover, and ended them watching Jeopardy. Greg defined his life by the love and generosity he gave to his family. He was son of Ethel and Thomas Brown (deceased), and had a loving sister Margie (Margaret) Brown-McGrath (Jerry)(deceased) and sister-in-law Barbara Dilberian. He loved spending time with his three children, Patricia Brown-Grant (Steven), Thomas Brown (Rory) and Leslie Schwamberger (Otto); and he cherished his seven grandchildren, Gregory Brown, Katie Brown-Rugani (Ethan), Sean Brown (deceased), Sarah, Jillian and Michael Grant, and Kyle Schwamberger, and two great-granddaughters, Charlotte and Evelyn Rugani. He is also survived by loving nieces, nephews and cherished friends. Greg is lovingly remembered as a husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather.
