Susan& Cade, We were some of Dr. Browning's patients in the mid 70's and he took care of all our family's teeth. We haven't seen him in several years, but he was always interested in our children and we prayed for Cade many times as he was growing up and making his decisions for school. Our son Mark, enjoyed helping out around your home and it helped him to earn money for college. We felf like your family was part of us. Dr. Browning will be greatly missed by many people and we are praying for you and your family. He loved you and Cade and was proud to be a Grandpa. Sincerely, The Townsends

To the Browning Family, Susan and Cade...
I was shocked and saddened to hear of Dr. Brownings passing. Craig and I just saw him this last weekend at the cutting. Bill was such a sweet man. I am remembering the days of Peponita Brown and Short Doc. "Doc" there are a bunch of great horses and great cutters where you are now.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this most difficult time.

Our hearts go out to you at this time and in the days ahead. We have been patients of Dr. Browning for many, many years. He was always such a happy, positive person and talked so proudly of his family. We have all lost a dear friend. May God help fill the void left by his passing with the love of friends and family.

To The Browning Family:

I am so saddened to hear of Dr. Browning's passing. As a longtime patient, he and I became very good friends. I enjoyed going to see him and he always made me laugh. I even had the privilege of meeting the "Wonderful Susan"! I know that nothing I say can bring you comfort, but one thing I can say is for you all to cherish those fond memories.

Dr. Browning will be missed by all! Please know that I am thinking and praying for you all.

I was Bill's first dental assistant when he opened his practise in Plano in 1972. He was such a wonderful person to work for and with. He and Susan were very kind to me, and helpful to both my husband and me. I'm sure he will be greatly missed....by family, friends, and patients.

I have many fond memories of "Billy" as a child. We were cousins who grew up together for the first ten years of our lives. We played cowboys and indians and he was always a cowboy who ended up tied to a tree. Even as a young child he had a passion for horses which only grew as time passed. I will miss the phone calls that always started "Patsy"--- (my childhood name). Those who knew Bill were truely blessed.
