Tributes paid to Nottinghamshire shop owner who loved chatting to customers

Tributes have been paid to a popular Nottinghamshire shop owner who was 'never happier than when chatting to customers'. Alan Brown had helped run B Brown and Son, a domestic appliance repairs firm, since the 1960s and was described as friendly and easy going by loved ones.

Mr Brown, who died aged 85 on June 8, was suffering from various health conditions according to his son, Adrian, 52, who reopened the shop just a month after his father retired in 2018, Lincolnshire Live reports.

Adrian said: "When my dad was very young he liked his motorsports but as he got older he was very into walking. He liked that sort of thing. He was an easy-going and friendly sort of chap."
