Aquinas College

Inducted in 2002, was one of the premier basketball players of the 1950's in the Grand Rapids area as well as in the State of Michigan. He was named to the Grand Rapids All-City team four times, twice being a unanimous selection. During his career, he averaged 19.5 points per game, scoring a total of 1371 points. His record of 72 points in a single game still stands as the College record. Lloyd captained the squad and was leading scorer in Aquinas's first-ever victory over Calvin College in 1954. He also was a star performer on the track team during his years at Aquinas. In addition to his athletic abilities, Brown's music and drama talents earned him the leading role in two Aquinas College theater productions. Coaches, opponents and press reporters, alike, were in agreement on Brown's athletic prowess and his fine character. Brown and his late wife, Fern, had three children: Eric Brown, Culver City, California; Erin Brown Diaz of Elwood, New Jersey; and Kimberly Brown of Grand Rapids. Lloyd Brown, a retired Ameritech salesman, passed away March 2002.
