William (Bill) Harry  Brown

It is with heavy hearts that the family of William (Bill) Harry Brown age 79 of Amherst announce his passing on Wednesday, May 24, 2017 at Dr. George L. Dumont Hospital, Moncton, NB.
Born August 28, 1937 in Amherst, he was a son of the late Chesley and Blanche (Gilroy) Brown.
Bill enjoyed fishing, especially the trips to Star Lake in Halifax Co. with his brother Earle, his sons and his uncle Bill Gilroy. Hunting, bowling and dancing with his beautiful wife, who made him look good on the dance floor. Bill loved telling fibs to keep everyone off balance and enjoyed every day he was alive.
He is survived by his loving wife of 59 years, Beverly (DeBaie), two sons John (Bonnie) and Paul (Heather), daughter in law Kay Brown, 11 grandchildren, 12 great grandchildren, brother Stevely Mitchell, sisters Anna Langill and Donna Atkinson and nephew Donald (Helen) Shubert who enhanced our family by spending several years with us.

At Bill’s request there will be no visitation or funeral service.
Arrangements have been entrusted to Campbell’s Funeral Home, Amherst, NS (902-667-9906)
He leaves you with this thought, “Life is a short trip, make the most of it”
