EAST FALMOUTH, MASS. - Bob passed away, Monday July 8th of
Pancreatic Cancer. He was preceded by his wife of 56 years, the love of his
life, Ida M. Pingree; and leaves his son, Jeffrey Brown and his wife, Kristen
Brown, of Franklin, MA and his two beloved grandchildren, Christopher and
Michaela Brown. He also leaves his son Scott Brown of New York, NY and leaves a
brother, Al Brown and sister-in-law, Linda of Surprise, AZ. If you ever met Bob,
you loved him. His many friends, neighbors and co-workers will miss him
dearly.
Bob was born and raised in Creston, Iowa on his parent's farm,
but farming was not in his future. Bob followed his dream and enlisted in the
Navy as a cadet, completed flight training and received his wings. After flight
school he was based at Naval Air Station in Alameda, CA (VF-111) flew F9s off
the U.S.S. Lexington and then became a flight instructor at North Island. After
an honorable discharge from the Navy, Bob started his career in commercial
aviation in 1957 and flew for 35 years, retiring as a 747 Captain with Northwest
Airlines. Flying was his passion and he often said, "I never worked a day in my
life".
In retirement, he spent time with his family, was a member of
the John Wesley United Methodist Church and volunteer at the Falmouth Service
Center and Meals on Wheels.
A Memorial Service will be held at the John Wesley United
Methodist Church on Friday, July 12th at 11:00am. In lieu of flowers, the family
asks that a donation be made to the Falmouth Service Center or Meals on
Wheels.
