Charlie Brown Jr., age 74, passed away November 6, 2018 at Mercy St. Vincent Hospital in Toledo, Ohio.
Charlie was born to Charlie Brown Sr. and Susie Wright from Grand Rapids, MI., who later moved to Toledo, Ohio. Charlie was the oldest of four siblings (Evon Smith, Willie “Mickey” Wright and Richard “Sug” Wright). Charlie attended Libbey High School and Owens Community College.
