It is always sad when a name from the past you remember and associate with passes on.

Yeah, I wish they'd be more specific as to who it is. In order to differentiate from more famous entities with the same name.

There have been a number of those within the past few years, I've noticed.

Well the Scottish Bobby Brown has been around and famous for a looooooonnnng time, well before the singer was even born, and is a hall of famer.

I did make a clarifying statement at the beginning of the obit, so that people would not confuse the two.

I notice that. But the thread title (subject line) should also contain a little note (in parentheses) as well. I mean, a person can see any thread title and a certain thought can come to mind. Just sayin.

I won't take this any further.

He was probably thinking the singer, who probably comes to most people's minds when they hear the name.
