HON. FREDERICA S. WILSON
of florida
in the house of representatives
Ms. WILSON of Florida. Mr. Speaker, from the 24th District of the great state of Florida, I rise today to honor the life of the late Mr. Rogers Brown, Jr., a beloved husband, father, and friend, who was also gifted with extraordinary culinary skills that led to a stellar career as a master chef and restaurant inspector. I include in the Record the following proclamation:
Whereas Mr. Brown's love of cooking and culinary talents
led to the title of Chef and a long and rewarding career with
Amtrak; and
Whereas Mr. Brown's culinary career was followed by a
decade's long career as an Inspector of Hotels and
Restaurants for the State of Florida—a job he held until his
retirement: and
Whereas Mr. Brown bravely served his country as a soldier
in the United States Army; and
Whereas Mr. Brown was a kind and gentle man who loved to
travel and share tales of his adventures with family members
and friends; and
Now, therefore, be it resolved that I, Frederica S. Wilson,
a member of the United States House of Representatives,
representing the 24th Congressional District of Florida,
recognize the late Mr. Rogers Brown, Jr., for his dedication
and commitment to his family and for his service to our
community, state, and country.
