I’m so saddened by Bill’s passing. During the 42 years I’ve known him, he was always kind and caring to those around him, he was always interested in anything you’d talk about with him, and he always let you know he wished you the best . He will be missed. Wishing God’s blessings on his loved ones, especially Bobbie to whom he was completely devoted, during this difficult time.
With love,
Maureen
We can’t express the sadness and the shock we fell when we find out about Bill’s disappeareance. We had the pleasure to know Bill in 2003 when we moved at the Ranch Village, and he was our next door neighbor. I wishes that everybody to have a neighbor and a friend as Bill was for us. He love us as his family and never miss an important event or a birthday without sending cards and presents. Bill toghether with Roberta were our friends and even we moved from Parma Hts to Parma we keep visiting each other.
We will miss him immensley! Love You and you will always be in our hearts! Lily, Mike, Cris and Julia.
Dear Browning Family,
I just wanted to say how sorry I am to learn of your loss. May the God of all comfort sustain you during this difficult time. I have also found the following promises to be very comforting John 5:28,29 and Rev. 21:4. It is my sincere hope that these thoughts comfort your family at this time.

Dearest Roberta, we always considered Bill as our neighbor also. We will miss his visits and kind conversation. Our sympathy to his family which he always spoke about. We know what a loss this will be for you Roberta as you lost your dearest friend. We are here for you. Ken and Elaine
As the other condolences have mentioned, our family was deeply saddened at Bill’s passing. My son, Nicholas, and I are avid runners, too, and we would see him quite often on the Metroparks running path. He always had a kind conversation with us as we ran side by side. He went to the same Mass that we attended on Saturday’s at St. Bridget. I know how much he loved distributing Holy Communion to the parishioners. After Mass, it seems we would always have a conversation about sports or Nicholas’ activities or, really, anything. He was quite a talker and you always walked away with a smile on your face! I know he’s organizing a running club in Heaven right now. He will be missed! Condolences to Roberta and the family.

We have fond memories from the first days of our move to Parma Hts., during Thanksgiving week of 2004. Roberta, you graciously stopped by and introduced yourself, the first neighbor to do so, and welcomed us.
Shortly afterward we met Bill. Not many days would go by that he was not running on the Parkway. He always stopped to say hello and
ask how we were doing. Bill was a special guy and known to all of his friends on the running path. He’ll truly be missed.
We know that his spirit is still out there running and we’ll think of him every day when we look out at the path.
I was sadden to hear of Bill passing this past Easter. I am a runner and for years I would see Bill along the trail and he would shout out my name and chat me up I used to run along with him and up until a few years ago he set a great pace. I was jogging the Metro Park trail on March 19th and ran into Bill walking and swinging his arms like he was still jogging. We stopped and chatted and he told me of an up coming run. I asked him if he was going to run it and he told me he no longer was a runner. I never new Bills last name until today when I asked a few people and some one from his church told me it was Browning. I was out today and still thought I would see him. Just knowing him was a good thing in my like. It was amazing how many people knew him and were sad to hear he had passed. My condolence to his family and his girlfriend.
