GEOF BROWN... died September 22 after suffering from lymphoma.
Complete Story ...
Back in my rebellious teenage years my fourth-form history teacher, with a depth of insight I came to appreciate much later in life, described me as a "delicate ginger plant within an M-16". She might as well have been referring to my father Geoffrey Brown.
Far from being harmful, his artillery was merely a thin shield to guard the softest of hearts. He left this earth just as he entered it: with an exceedingly kind and gentle soul. His occasionally gruff exterior might have fooled some. The rest of us knew him too well.
