Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute
Carl I Brown of Kansas City, died Friday, August 10th at age 82. He was surrounded by his loving family and wife (Molly) of sixty years. He was revered as a pioneer in the mortgage industry, a true entrepreneur.
A Central high school graduate, who played violin in the City Orchestra, also lettered in football and track. Carl attended the University of Kansas where he was a member of the track team and lettered for 3 years. He graduated with a degree in Chemistry, and went on to serve in the armed forces, stationed in Angoleum France for 2 years. Molly joined Carl in France where his love affair with travel was born.
Carl and his brother Gene started Regional Realty and Investment in the early sixties and later founded Carl I Brown and Company which he and his sons and son-in-law built into a national company. Carl loved the world of business, but mainly teaching it to the younger generation and handing his legacy of knowledge of hard work to his children……they were his inspiration.
Farewell Grandpa! We love you so much and will miss you!
Services will be held Wednesday August 15th, at St. Peters Episcopal Church on 100 E Red bridge Road, Kansas City at 1pm.

Carl, Molly and Greg gave me my first job in the banking industry and taught me that hard work and the love of life would take me to fantastic places.
It has and I will always be appreciative.
Dear Molly & Family,
Love & prayers coming your way in this sad time for you all. I worked for Carl at Regional many years ago. He was a great leader & boss, kind, sincere & always upbeat and fun. It was a pleasure knowing him & I know how proud he was of his family. May the sweet memories of him fill your heart with warmth and he rest in peace.

Smartest guy in the mortgage business I ever worked for 22 years ago. Never a dull moment with his airplane taking staff to California to take loan applications. I declined the offer to go. Heard the plane went into a downward spiral and then came under control. Always had extra jobs for his employees. At age 60 it was a challenge keeping up and following his next business move in keeping with the market changes. Always had a smile. Cute wife and he appeared to be very much in love when she visited the office.
