Dan and Tim,
Not sure if you will get this message. This is Gerry (Browning) Franklin. I am the daughter of Ruth and Bob Browning, and grand-daughter of Amelia Preiss. I spoke with your dad a few times in the past few years. I have been thinking about him of late, and googled his name, suspecting I'd find an obituary. When I found your mom's, I realized my suspicions were true...he had passed away. I am so sorry for your loss...both parents in just a few months. Your dad meant alot to me as a little girl, and I remember sobbing when you all moved. It was good to get to talk with him a few times in the past few years. He was a kind and talented man, and I'm sure you will all miss him and your mom. God bless you during this time of healing.
