Edmund J. Brown
Brother Ed Brown died on November 21 at age 90. Ed joined the Knights on March 15, 1942-four months after our council was chartered. With 70+ years of service, one can only guess how many dinners, dances, and other events Ed and his wife Eleanor attended over the years. Though always humble, Ed was a strong pillar in the New Richmond community, and he and Eleanor leave a lasting legacy of 8 children, 18 grandchildren, and 15 great-grandchildren. Sons Pat, Lee, and Don are also members of our council. Our condolences to the entire family. May he rest in peace.
