It’s one thing to help people that can help you, but Rev. Brown made it his mission to help people that may not ever be able to help him. And that was the lesson he taught me.

Our city is a better place because he lived. Moreover, we are better individually for having known him. With his quiet strength, he reminded us, all that a good life is in the eyes of God has nothing to do with titles or wealth, but everything to do with simply helping your fellow man. It is a legacy that will endure.

Abe Brown was the rock. And he was a stickler for the rules. Often when you arrived in his office, he would just let you sit and stew and think about what you had done. But you just knew you were going to be okay.

U.S. Rep Kathy Castor, Chamberlain High School alumni, reflecting on when Abe Brown was her Dean
