Paul Brown was a proud member of the New Jersey State Police, Troop C, Bordentown Station and the Pipes and Drums of the Blue & Gold. Paul enjoyed a good cup of coffee, being the family barista, summers fishing and swimming at the Colonial Sportsmen’s Club, attending heavy metal concerts, playing the drums and taking trips to Ireland, Lake George, Long Beach Island and warm sunny resorts with his family. In addition to his family, Paul cherished time spent with his many friends. He will be greatly missed by his chosen Princeton Farms family, his childhood friends, and those friends made during his 10 years as a New Jersey State Trooper.
