Berry's Statement on NFFE President Brown's Passing
It's worth noting that Brown spoke highly of Berry as recently as last week, saying he and other NFFE officials had positive meetings with Berry and were willing to work with him on issues like pay reform. Brown was definitely tough on the issues he cared about, like repealing the National Security Personnel System. But I know the folks who worked with him at NFFE really cared about him, and my sense was that he had a good sense of humor to go with his conviction.

President Richard N. Brown
"I am greatly saddened by the unexpected death of Richard Brown. He worked tirelessly on behalf of Federal employees.
"Rick lived a life of service and leadership, and this is a tragic loss. I only knew Rick for a short time, but his dedication shone through in our work together on issues that matter deeply to Federal employees and working people everywhere.
"He will be forever remembered as a smart, tough, and passionate employee advocate. His family, friends, and colleagues are in my thoughts and prayers."
