Beloved NFFE President Richard N. Brown Passes Away at Age 47

July 1, 2009

It is with great sadness and regret that NFFE announces the passing of its beloved national president, Richard N. Brown, who was found unresponsive in his apartment in Arlington, VA yesterday afternoon. Rick was a close and much loved friend of NAGE. He will be deeply missed by NAGE staff and members alike, who got to know the gregarious and devoted union leader in our work together over the years.

"We have lost a great friend and a truly good and decent person," said National President David Holway. "Rick's heart was always in the right place; he was always thinking about what he could do to make the lives of working women and men better. He had this unbelievable energy that he used, not to enrich himself, but to enrich the lives of others. We will miss him as a friend, as an ally, and as a resounding voice in the fight for dignity and respect for all workers". more >>
