When I came back from church yesterday (10 Sep 2022), and had a message from my Niece, Alina, I knew it wasn't good. She told me that Harry had passed on Saturday Night. My beloved brother fought the valiant fight, never giving up. I am glad his family was by his side when he passed. I will miss him. He showed me how to survive in life. Harry was very talented. In Junior High, he wanted to be a printer (maybe working in the news room). But then, after taking art, he decided to venture into the area of custom painting of motorcycles and cars. He developed his unique style of painting. He painted my Harley 45 Mint Green, and also painted my guitar Metal Flake Red, and had it striped. I still have it. He never let his talent go to his head. One year, he shared "Grand Sweeps" at the Grand National Oakland Roadster Show. That was the biggest trophy he was awarded. He won more trophies, but got rid of a lot of them. He kept that big one of course. Harry used his own ideas for various projects. I will miss him very much and will always be thinking about him. Harry "The Bear" Browne is now up in Heaven, looking over the family, insuring things go well for the future. I always called "Harry "The Bear", now, I shall start calling him Harry, the "Golden Bear", because, he is golden. Yes, he had some rough spots, but, his love and companionship and compassion was always above everything. Very protective of me, and insuring that no one gave me a hard time. He would take care of that. I just want to say God Bless You Harry, and now, you re up there in Heaven with the rest of the family who passed on before us. Now you are riding your Golden Harley and wearing your new acquired Angels Wings.
