James R. Brown, Sr. passed away Sunday, October 6, 2013 at home with Elaine by his side.
Jim was preceded in death by his parents and three brothers.

Surviving are a son and daughter-in-law, granddaughter Ashley (whom he affectionately called Gourdhead and she lovingly called him Stumphead), a daughter, two grandsons, nieces, and nephews.

Jim always enjoyed his animals. Out of all of them there were three special ones – his buddy and protector Brutus Buckeye, his lap dog Peanut, and Jake the cat.

Jim retired from the Mead Paper Corp after 42 years of service; he was a member of UPIU Local 731. Jim was also a member of the Moose Lodge 1626, Sons of AMVETS Post 4, VFW Men’s Auxiliary Post 108, American Legion Men’s Auxiliary Post 62, and the Masonic Temple Lodge Scioto 6, and a Golden Eagle member of the Fraternal Order of Eagles Aerie 600.

The viewing will be held at WARE FUNERAL HOME on Wednesday, October 9, 2013 between the hours of 6:00 pm and 8:00 pm.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the Ross County Honor and Color Guard (VFW Post 108, Attn: Ralph Roe) or to the Ross County Humane Society.

To the special people who were there to provide comfort, support and endless help, the family sends their love and appreciation.
