BROWN Brother John, O.S.B.
Died April 10, 2009 at West Chester Medical Center, Valhalla, New York.
He was born March 13, 1931 in Far Rockaway, Queens, NY, son of William
and Bridget Daly Brown, who were born in Ireland. Brother John was a graduate
of the Benedictine High School conducted by St. Paul's Abbey in Newton,
NJ. After high school he went to the newly founded monastery of Mount Saviour,
becoming one of its first members, on September 15, 1951. He was the first
monk to make Solemn Profession (final vows) at Mount Saviour on January
6, 1956. Brother John was a valuable asset to Reverend Father Damasus Winzen,
the first superior, and made a significant contribution to the development
of the new monastery. He had an outgoing, engaging personality and befriended
the neighbors and many people in the Elmira community. He was energetic,
with an unlimited enthusiasm and a positive attitude for whatever he was
doing. Brother John was involved in building construction and farm management
while at the monastery. In 1980 he left the monastery and eventually resided
in Montgomery, NY where, later on, he contracted the illness that claimed
his life. During his time outside the monastery, Brother John continued
to live his life as a Benedictine monk, keeping up the devotional practices
he had learned; in his heart and soul he never left the monastery. He is
survived by a sister, Mary Ann Basile, 2 brothers, John and Cornelius,
2 nieces, 8 nephews, 16 grandnieces and nephews, and his long-time friend,
Tom O'Neil. In addition to his parents he was preceded in death by
a brother, Eugene Brown. A Requiem Mass will be celebrated Saturday, May
2, 2009 at 10:00 a.m. at Mount Saviour Monastery, Pine City. Burial will
be immediately after the mass in the monastery cemetery. Memorials, if
desired, could be made to the church of your choice, or to the American
Cancer Society. Arrangements by McInerny Funeral Home. Published
