Jim Brown baby sat me... per se.
My brother and I would go over his house and play with his sons Kevin and Jimmy every day after school. My dad worked nights so we went there for a couple hours while he slept. My mom would get home from work around 5 and we would then go home. They lived 9 houses from our house on East 147th Street. Everyone on the street knew he was a movie star and an NFL player... it wasn't a big deal. Our family was close to the Browns for a long time. They then moved a couple streets over to Shaker Heights in some brand new condominiums that were freshly built back in the mid 70s. Then they moved to California soon after. My brother and I visited Keven when we went to Los Angeles
in the early 80s.
RIP Big Jim.
