I share with great sadness that Barry Brown, one of the original founders of FOVEC and a lifelong advocate for Fair Oaks, passed away this morning at his home, looking out at his beloved trees and yard.
I first met Barry shortly after moving to Fair Oaks, and I feel lucky to have known him as both a friend and mentor. His leadership and advice will be sorely missed, but Barry's many accomplishments in Fair Oaks and beyond will be beautiful reminders for years to come.
See his interview with FOVEC last year for more on Barry's life.

Adding Barry's obituary from the Sacramento Bee.
Thus is very sad news indeed. Barry was a wonderful advocate for our community and a friend to all. My heart is sad.
