Albert Brown Sr. 81, of 70 Roberts Lane., passed away Saturday, September 16, 2023 at Sampson Regional Medical Center.

On July 12, 1942, in Montgomery, Alabama. God blessed the late Jimmy and Ida Brown with their son whom they named Albert Brown. He received his early years of education in Montgomery County Public Schools, where he later worked in the local icehouse. He then moved to New York where he started as a Farm Labor Contractor. He continued his passion for 30 plus years migrating from New York, North Carolina and Florida doing seasonal farm work for various farmers within the three states. He later retired, and handed the family business (A Brown & Sons) over to his sons and made North Carolina his home state.
