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-
