Arthur “Art” D. Brown, Jr., age 69, a 37-year resident of Pompton Plains, died Friday, January 11, 2013.
He was born in Mount Vernon, NY and raised in Yonkers, NY. Arthur graduated from Lincoln High School with the Class of 1961. He received his undergraduate degree in Biology from Allegheny College in Meadville, PA with the Class of 1965. He went on to receive his Masters Degree from Farleigh Dickenson University in Teaneck with the Class of 1972.
Arthur’s first job was working at Woodlawn Cemetary in the Bronx, NY during his summers off from school. After attending Allegheny, he enlisted in the United States Marine Corps. Upon completion of his service, he then found employment as a scientist with the Schering Plough Corporation in Kenilworth where he worked for thirty-eight years before retiring in 2006.
He was a true outdoorsman. Arthur enjoyed hiking, camping, rock climbing, fishing, cross-country skiing, backpacking and cycling just to name a few. He was an avid reader, loved woodworking, gardening, and was quite the handyman around the house. He also enjoyed traveling and once took his wife, three daughters, the family dog, and all his camping equipment on a six-week road trip to Alaska. He was a fun-loving, honest and genuine, contemplative man with a quirky sense of humor.
Arthur was the loving husband of Charlye (Roden) Brown; devoted father of Dana and Stacey Brown, both of Pompton Plains, and Laura Brown of Weehawken; dear step-brother of Virginia Martin and her husband Robert of Darien, CT, and Carolee Iltis of Poughquag, NY; dear brother-in-law of Pamela Moore and her husband Eugene of Pottersville.
