What a wonderful man. My daughter, Wendy Lasher was a patient at Shriner's Hospital and named their Queen in 1986. Mr. Brown was kind, giving and loving to all the children and their families at Shriners. I will forever be grateful for what he did and all the Shriners have done and continue to do for crippled children.
My condolences to the family. May God be with you.

Earl was a great guy who had a heart of gold and a penchant for fun!
His greatest loves were his wife Nancy and the Shriners Hospital.
He will be greatly missed by all of us.
We will have a place for him in our hearts at the dinner table at Mr. G's Supper club.
Our love to Nancy!
