James E. Brown III Obituary: View James Brown's Obituary by MetroWest Daily News (http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/metrowestdailynews/obituary.aspx?n=james-e-brown&pid=152638861)

VERY SAD. I last talked to him about a month ago. Hadn't heard from him in a while.

Jim thanks for all you did for the plug community. You got alot of people into this hobby as Plug Builders Supply. :kewl:

You were a great friend. I enjoyed talking plugs with you all the time. You knew alot of stuff. You always had a good idea.

Sorry you got that awful SH IT cancer. Somewhere up there I hope you see this.

RIP buddy.

Great Guy Larry. He knew a ton of stuff about plugs. He started the original Plug Builders Supply years ago. Sold kits, parts, lips, all kinds of stuff. Ran a catalog operation that was very popular. I built a bunch of his stuff and used alot of his parts as did many of the old timers here and on sol etc.

In later years he ran Electro Freeto, and he was quite a machinist. Knew alot of tricks. Helped me out more than once. Before he was diagnosed with the glioma we used to talk all the time. He had been in and out of the hospital a few times.

BIG dog fan. German Shepherds. Show dogs. He did enjoy talking about his dogs. Got lots of awards.
