Bob was born Brown May 31, 1928, in Klamath Falls, Oregon, to Raymond C. Brown and Goldie P. (Sparks) Brown. The family soon moved to La Grande and later to a farm in Irrigon. When Bob was in low- er grade school, his father nearly lost an arm when dragged through a barbed wire fence by a runaway horse. Bob’s parents later divorced, and he and his sister Jean lived with their mother, stepfather Floyd Provancha and stepsisters, ¿rst in the (ugene area and then various places and states picking crops. This resulted in attending many different schools each year. In 1941, from Twin Falls, Idaho, the family moved back to the farm in Irrigon, which was owned by Bob’s Grandfather Sparks. It was in Irrigon that he met future wife (llen Fra- ser, who moved there from Idaho in 1942, since her father had started work the year before at the Umatilla Ordnance Depot. Bob graduated in 1947 from Irrigon High School and started classes that fall at (astern Oregon Col- lege in La Grande, where he earned his bachelor’s degree in elementary edu- cation and later a master’s degree. During the years at (astern Oregon College, he served in the National Guard. Bob managed Hermis- ton’s Head Start summer program during some years between 1951-1983 when he was an elementary teach- er in Hermiston School District #8. Various grade levels were taught at West Park, Rocky Heights, and Highland Hills. While at July 14, 1942-Feb. 25, 2016 West Park School, he was a Boy Scout lead- er from stu- dents in high school. Until Bob’s rapid decline in health, which in- cluded a painful in- operable spine and shoulders, he was able to be an active mem- ber for First Christian Church. Bob’s hobbies/ special interests included ¿shing with friends and family Àying camping; hiking and back- packing, especially in the Wallowa Mountains and Mount Rainier; climbing Mount Hood in 1974 with wife (llen and son Daryl; operating a small sailboat in the 1980s; learning Morse Code and becoming a ham operator; bow-hunting with friends; Boy Scout lead- er (high school age); doing woodworking, building and installing cabinets and work- benches in the garage and shop; doing photography; and being an avid reader. Bob is survived by wife (llen; daughter Vickie Hartley; son Daryl Brown; six grandchildren: Jeff (As- tri) Brown, Matt (Leslie) Brown, Scott Brown, (ric Brown, Angela Hartley and Jason Hartley; daughters- in-law Peggy Brown and Sue Brown; sister Jean Pin- ney; stepsister Patty Smith; and several cousins.
