  Mr. SERRANO. Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay tribute to the memory of Mr. 
Lloyd Charles Brown, an active community leader who dedicated his life 
for the betterment of the Bronx.
  Mr. Brown was born in Banes, Cuba in 1922 to Lesseps Brown and Susan 
Lawrence Brown. He worked on the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base for 20 
years.
  Mr. Brown immigrated to the United States in 1964. He became a 
businessman in the Bronx and initiated many ideas for the betterment of 
the community.
  Mr. Brown's active role in the community included his work at 
community board No. 9, where he was chairman of the Rainbow After 
School Program, youth committee member, and chairman of the housing 
committee. He was also the chairman of the Dankner Eye Institute, 
president of the Blackrock Avenue Tenant Association and a member of 
the Mitchell-Lama Council, the America Security Council National 
Advisory Board, and the Bronx Municipal Hospital Corporation Advisory 
Board.
  His career in politics led him to become president of the Community 
Democratic Club of the 76th Assembly District in New York. He was also 
a member of the community advisory committee for Assemblyman Hector L. 
Diaz.
  Mr. Brown received the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Humanitarian 
Award for his achievements in helping the people of our community. He 
was also honored with a Citation of Merit from Bronx Borough President 
Fernando Ferrer and a Citation of Merit from Assemblyman Hector Diaz.
  Mr. Brown left a legacy of courage, responsibility, hard work, 
camaraderie, and love for the community. He is survived by his wife, 
four children, three grandchildren, an aunt, and other relatives and 
friends.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring the life of 
Mr. Lloyd Brown who left a mark on our community through his commitment 
to serve with love and to the best of his abilities.
