John Brown is one of the people, whom I really admire. He was born in Dumbarton, a town situated near Glasgow, in 1960. His parents were really well off. John's father was a car mechanic and is mother was a teacher. He had two brothers and one sister. His brothers' name were Henry and Jim and his sister's- Jane. The family was very religious and they lived very traditional life. As a 20 year old man, John entered the University of Glasgow. He studied law and he was really successful in his studies. When he graduated, he got married to Betty White. At first they lived in London, where John worked as a lawyer and after few years they moved to Glasgow. There their daughter Dorothy was born.

John Brown was a very social person. People around him liked him very much. He took care of his wife and daughter very well. He proved to be a good lawyer, great father and husband and a dedicated friend. John was very helpful for his family- he shared the duties together with his wife. He also looked after his parents. Brown was considered a very reliable and honest person and a responsible worker. It took him short period of time to make great professional career. The only disadvantages of him were that he was seen as an old-fashioned person and not always well organized.

John was a very handsome man. He was slim and tall. He had dark hair and blue eyes. He used to wear glasses on his long eagle-like nose. He would always wear very neat smart clothes. His favorite clothes were gray suit, black shoes, graphite tie and a long coat.

Apart from work and family, John also has hobbies. He loved horses. He even had his own stables in a village not far from London. He was also fond of collecting coins. John loved sports. Except from riding horses, he also liked riding a bicycle and play tennis. Together with his wife and daughter he used to go for long walks in the countryside and in the forests. Moreover, John could play the guitar very well. He also loved theatre- hw would visit some at least once a month. He used to say that theatre is much better than cinema and he would never visit any movie.

John had great plans for his life. He wanted to go for a trip all around the world. He had much money, but he was short of time. He was going to give much time for charity, helping the poor and the disabled. He was an initiator of building shelters for homeless people.

I think that John was really a good person. He was honorable, generous and caring. Even after he died, people remembered him and took him as an example of good father, friend and husband. I also admire him very much. John showed people, what it means to live good life. For me he is an example, which I would like to follow in my own life.
