Van Browne was an extraordinay man. He was caring and kind to a fault. He loved our industry and made life-long, deeply personal friends with the folks he called on. He made our indsutry a community. He often joked about being like Norm from Cheers and in a way he was; when he walked into any given place, nearly everyone knew him and all were happy to see him. He had a unique gift for remembering the personal details of even casual acquaintences. He remembered birthdays and other important dates, names of pets, and names of spouses and children. He even remembered extracarricular hobbies. He had the natural gift of making people feel good about themselves. He was a unique man. His loss leaves a siginificant void in our community.
Samuel Van Browne, 1955 - 2023
