PROFILE

LOUIS BROWN Wilmington - Louis Brown, the loving husband of Faith Brown, has passed away at the age of ninety-four.

He was the High Holiday Choirmaster at Adas Kodesch Shel Emeth Synagogue for over sixty years. Lou and Faith also were founders and participants in the yearly community celebration, Café Tamar. Lou loved to sing and dance in the annual event, and performed with the Café Tamar Dancers in New York for the Israeli Folk Dance Festival.

A member of "the greatest generation," Lou was a World War II veteran, serving in the U.S. Navy on Guam.

Faith and Lou loved to travel and made many trips throughout the United States and abroad. They visited Israel ten times, and served as volunteers there.

Lou, who was born and raised in Wilmington, Delaware, married the girl next door, and will be missed by his loving wife of over 71 years, Faith; his three children, Marla (Charles), David (Riva), and Beth (Diego); six grandchildren, Jeremy, Devorah (Daniel), Benjamin, Emma, Robert, and Tess; and three great-grandchildren, Allie, Mia, and Kayla.
