A wonderful man and great educator. I was lucky to have had the honor of being a Sociology major at Fitchburg State College during the very end of Dr. Browning's tenure there. My condolences to the Browning family.

Thank you everyone for your wonderful words and inspirations! Words can not explain how much we love you. Dad & Mom, and the Power of God's Love in them, continues to live forever in our hearts! Elder Cornelia Browning-Moore

My deepest sympathy to the Browning family during this time of lost. Dr. Browning was a very inspirational man whom motivated so many young people to overcome challenges in their life that seemed so overwhelming by helping them to learn how to change their perspective on an issue by simply embracing the challenge so you can overcome it. I share those same wise words of wisdom now with those who face challenges that they find overwhelming. God is so Good!

It is with tremendous sadness and my deepest condolences to the family of Dr. Grainger Browning, Sr.
I met Dr. Grainger Browning at Fitchburg State University in Fitchburg, MA when I was a student there back in 1980. He was a brilliant professor, gifted, genuine and deeply devoted to his teaching, his students and his family. Dr. Browning was a great advisor, not only to me but to countless students and we benefited greatly from his professional wisdom.

To the Browning Family,

I remember your dad as a professor at Fitchburg State College. What a nice man that looked out for his college students.

Both mom and dad are home together. May God continue to bless and strengthen your family.

Dr Browning and his knowledge of excellence will always be remember.

LHardy and the Fitchburg State Family.

Dear Connie and Grainger Jr.

God blessed us all with the gift of your parents' love and affection. Not only for each other and the two of you, but for so many other families like my own growing up in Cambridge over the years. They were both proud, intellectually gifted, socially minded exemplars of the best our race has to offer. I will miss them both terribly.
All my best to your families.

With love--
