Alfred Brown Jr.

July 17, 2018

Alfred ("Al") S. Brown Jr., beloved husband of Sandra L. Brown (now deceased), passed away at Wilton Meadows Health Care Center on Tuesday, July 17, 2018. Al was a lifetime resident of Stamford, CT. He graduated from Stamford High School and attended Norwalk State Technical College. He was one of five children born to Alfred and Edna Brown of Stamford. Alfred was manager of his parents' gas station, Brown's Service Station on Elm Street until the business was sold. The remainder of his career was working for Reliable Oil Company, as a fuel oil delivery driver and subsequently as a dispatcher. Alfred was a kind and gentle person, always willing to help out, with never a cross word to anyone. To a person, everyone who met him talked about how extraordinarily nice he was to all. Al loved motorcycles, tinkering with cars, football, and watching movies. He was a faithful member of St. Cecilia's Parish, and a good friend to anyone who needed assistance. Most of all, Al loved his wife Sandy with a passion beyond measure. She was his whole world, and he simply could not live without her. Alfred is survived by three sisters: Edna Hayter, Judith Vadeboncoeur and Linda Cannella. His sister Elaine Hinterneder predeceased him in 2016. He is also survived by several nephews and a niece. He is also predeceased by his very best friend Peter Cavanna, who was like a brother to Al. They met the first day of kindergarten and were best friends their entire lives together. Interment will be private, and Bosak Funeral Home, 453 Shippan Avenue, Stamford, CT 06902 will handle the arrangements. In lieu of flowers, a donation in Alfred's honor may be made to the Belltown Fire Department or St. Cecilia's Church.
