om Alcoa in 1999 and met at Hy-Vee monthly, for breakfast with other retirees. Charlie was an avid collector of Elvis and Charlie Brown "Peanuts Gang" memorabilia, and his wife Betty was his "little red-haired girl". He enjoyed playing board games and cards, cribbage and Euchre were his favorites. He played regularly all around the Quad-Cities and lately as part of a foursome at The Fountains in Bettendorf where he lived. The Puzzle Cove at the Fountains became his new passion and he completed, mounted and displayed over 50 puzzles there, some with 1,500 pieces. Those left to honor Charlie's memory are his sons, Greg Brown and Darin Brown, and his grandchildren Andrew Brown, Edward Brown, and Josephine Brown. He was preceded in death by his wife Betty (2015), his parents, and his brother Jerry Brown. Charlie is a direct descendant of William Brewster, a senior leader of the Pilgrims on the Mayflower, and was very proud of his extended family and their history.
