Richard Hamilton Brown

Richard "Dick" Brown moved on to greener fairways on August 3, 2016. Born to Alice and Edward Brown on February 9, 1942 in Kansas City, Missouri. He graduated from Portland High School and served in the US Navy. Richard spent his working career in food service sales with Jordan's Meats and Rykoff Sexton among others. He was a long time member and past President of the Woodfords Club. Brownie loved being part of the "Dew Sweepers" at Riverside Golf Course, where he played for many years. He was a proud member of Alcoholics Anonymous with 28 years of sobriety for which he thanked God every day. He supported so many and helped them along their road to recovery.

Survivors include his wife Barbara; daughter Karen; brothers James, Luke, David, and Joseph; and sisters Carolyn and Lee; and numerous nieces and nephews.
