Robert G. "Bob" Browning

Several years have now come and gone since Bob's passing. You move on but fortunately God blesses us with lessons learned, wisdom received, and continuing memories. My children will be graduating from college this spring. Recently my wife and I were talking about our school years,the differences between then and now. It's a tougher time to grow up in many ways and certainly a more difficult environment to teach in. Probably one of the highest honors for any individual is to say they made a...

Betty & Nancy,

I am so sorry for your loss. Mr. Browning was such a wonderful person and excellent teacher. I had him in his first year of teaching at Northwestern and my youngest daughter Brittany had him in his last year of teaching. He called us his "Bookends". May you rest in peace Mr. B.

Betty and Nancy: Bob, while working in a steel mill, was taking college prep courses, and was inspired by an instructor named Mr. Leone who suggested that he go to Edinboro,to become a teacher,and that was the reason he went out of his way to meet me, in hopes the Instructor and I were related. We were not, but our friendship grew over the fact we both owned and rode Bultaco Matador motorcycles. A few years ago while we were having breakfast at a restaurant, I mentioned how few teachers...

Dear Betty
I am so sorry for your loss. You and Bob were dear to me. Bob was a dear friend and inspiration to me and you both made my life in Edinboro unforgettable. Heaven will be a better place because of Bob. I hope one day we will all meet again

Betty and Nancy,
We wish we would have known this sooner. Many fond memories of Bob. Very sorry. Our prayers are with you.
Jerry, Honey, Cheryl, Jodi, Scott and families

Betty, Nancy, and family:
I am so sorry to hear of Bob's passing. What an incredible man who set an example for so many to follow. He will truly be missed by many, and I know the memories you have will enable him to live on in your hearts for years to come. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Dear Betty and Nan,

Please accept sincere condolences at Bob's passing. I have not lived in the area in many years. My children are now finishing their first year in college and they and many others over the years have heard the stories of making gun powder and rockets in science class, of the 5th grade teachers who were the best all time quarterbacks for football at recess and of the only teacher who had to paddle me in school. He and I made a pact that it was just between us. Years...

Dear Betty and Nan,
I am so very sorry about Bob's passing. He certainly has left a void and will be missed by many. It was 21 years ago when we moved in across the street. My three kids had not yet made friends with any neighborhood kids (actually there were not many at that time), but they sure found a friend in Bob! When they came home from school they often went straight to the Browning's where I would find them all setting on the grass around "Mr. B" and listening to his stories. As...

Mr. Browning was my 5th grade teacher and taught science while using hands-on activities. I remember the rockets, volcanoes, and styrofoam planets! He was a teacher that made learning fun and he always had a smile. I'm currently an elementary school teacher in Colorado. Thank you for inspiring me, Mr. Browning!!
Sending prayers to Mrs. Browning and Nancy.
