Tramp Brown was (still is) one of my great heroes. I knew him to be kind, generous, funny, smart, level-headed, and one of the nicest people in Lubbock. Best of all, there are undoubtedly hundreds (probably thousands) of people who would say the very same things about Tramp. He enriched the lives of everyone who was ever lucky enough to know him.
