Robert Edwin Browne, 82, of Bedford, MA, died on April 14, 2021.

The son of the late Gerald and Henrietta Browne, he was born in Detroit, MI. He is predeceased by his wife of 45 years Margaret Louise (nee Schlichting) Browne.

Robert graduated from Dondero High School in Royal Oak, MI. At Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute he earned both a bachelor's and master's degree in electrical engineering.

His church family is the Lutheran Church of the Savior (LCS) in Bedford, MA, where he served as an usher, host, and treasurer. He also participated on the finance committees of LCS and the Delray Beach Club near his winter residence in Boynton Beach, FL.
