To the end, he was a role model in his courage and good humor. Bob had many interesting experiences in his life, but none brought him more joy than being with his family. He was born in Los Angeles on July 12, 1927, and at the age of 1 1/2 moved with his parents, Clarence and Zada Browning, and older sister, Jeanne, to Chicago, Ill. Sadly, Jeanne died at the age of 7 from spinal meningitis. Throughout this life, Bob was a leader. In high school he received special commendation and a write-up in the Chicago Tribune for heading the school's scrap iron drive during the war years. He was one of two young men in the city to attain the rank of lieutenant colonel in the ROTC and he graduated first in his class. Fresh out of high school, he served a year in the Army and then enrolled at Illinois Institute of Technology as an electrical engineering major. After receiving his degree, he went to work for Bell Aircraft, near Buffalo, N.Y. That same year, he married Gerry Bowman, a girl he had met in the church youth group, where, again, he was a leader. He always said it was "love at first sight." In 1954 Bell Aircraft sent him to Point Mugu as the flight test coordinator for the Meteor missile. After settling in Ventura, he and Gerry knew that they had no interest in returning to Buffalo. Bob then went to work for Raytheon Co. He worked for 20 years at the Oxnard plant and 15 at the one in Goleta. He was involved with the reliability, maintainability and safety of various missile systems and worked extensively with all of the armed forces. Shortly before retiring from Raytheon in 1989, he presented a paper at the National Symposium of Electrical and Electronic Engineers. Retirement brought work of a different kind. He and Gerry spent four summers as restoration and interpretive volunteers with the U.S. Forest Service at the Tallac Historic Site, Lake Tahoe. When they learned that the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library was about to open, they became docents and remained active volunteers for 15 years. Bob served as president of the volunteer association for two years, was on the education committee and wrote the by-laws for the organization. In addition, he frequently helped Gerry in her docent activities at the Museum of Ventura County in downtown Ventura. In 2005, in conjunction with National Philanthropy Day, they were jointly selected to receive the Volunteer of the Year award for Ventura County. Bob was a member of Ventura First United Methodist Church and over the years served as chairman of the finance committee; was on the pastor/parish committee; was an usher; and, along with Gerry, headed the family life committee and was counselor for the youth fellowships. Bob enjoyed traveling, having visited 34 countries and all but two states. He was a "true blue" Dodger fan and always looked forward to baseball season. He found enjoyment in camping, reading, writing both prose and poetry (as he said, with a name such as his, he had to at least try!) designing a model railroad layout and playing word games. He is deeply missed by Gerry, his wife of 55 years; daughters, Robin Browning of Truckee, Calif., and Jill Stowell (husband David) of Chino, Calif; sons, Randy Browning (wife Beth) of Carlsbad, Calif., and Todd Browning (wife Danielle) of Pilot Hill, Calif; and grandchildren, Aaron Browning, Lauren Browning, Nichole Browning, Christy Stowell and Kevin Stowell.
