Obituary of Johnnie Brown
Please share a memory of Johnnie to include in a keepsake book for family and friends.
Johnnie Louis Brown, age 88, of Bridgeport, beloved husband of Adele Fuller Brown, entered into eternal life on Monday, April 6, 2020.
Johnnie was born in Winston-Salem, NC to the late William and Lucy Brown. He attended school in Winston-Salem before coming to Connecticut at the age of 14. Johnnie worked in a ship yard in Bridgeport and retired in 1989 as a construction worker, brick mason, and scalpel man.
Johnnie enjoyed formal swimming and used his skills to serve as a lifeguard. He took great pleasure in spending time with his grandchildren and family members, watching movies, drinking soda, eating ice cream, and telling stories about time spent in Harlem, NY at the Apollo and delivering "numbers."
In addition to his loving wife Adele, Johnnie is survived by six children; 30 grandchildren; and 14 great-grandchildren.
