It is one of my greatest honor to have been raised by the rebel Joseph Willie Browley. He inspired me to open my BBB A+ accredited cleaning business NashBoro Cleaning Services based on his teaching on how to properly clean.

He went by many slogans and a few went like this

'' l left home at 16 years old and my mother said I wouldn't make passed 21.'' That was his anthem. '' That's a 10-4 and a 5-0''

Joseph was the 3rd of 4 children to Myrtle Brown and Benjamin Browley.

He was a family orientated man, he loved his love ones, extended and all. His favorite holiday was Christmas, Disney on ice had nothing on how big bright he wanted the house growing up. He was a workaholic, he worked at many factories and retires twice, He was the rebel, but most all a of man habit, he was up before the roosters and down by 6pm on a work day to enjoy wheel of fortune, but the weekends was his time. He was an independent man, he didn't belong to church but confessed Christ and was heavy prayer. He would clean a kitchen better than any paid maid  service and loved to cook his signature fried corn, salmon crochets and rice and biscuits. He truly was genuine and would share anything, He was a man that would speak his mind and not hold his tongue even if it meant being along. Joe was a gardener, enjoyed to fish and loved to travel. He made a pack with Percy ''that they would be together until the end'' and that was exactly just that, the two partied, gambled, laughed crashed in many of ditches and have many fond memories.

Affectionately yours,

Tiffany Parker, the girl he raised
