Edward E. Browne

Edward E. Browne, 84, passed away Nov. 15, 2011, loving husband of the late
Elizabeth; beloved father of Kristin, Liz, her partner Becky, Paul (Sarah),
the late Joseph, his partner Rick, and the late Christopher (Lynette);
grandfather of Kai and Sidney. Ed was a husband, widower for a mere seven
months, father, teacher, philosopher, worker, community service provider, a
determined and unflappable man, who seized every moment out of life until
it's end. And, when done, Ed just lay down and began his next great journey.
Born Aug. 6, 1927, he is now resting with the angels. One of his favorite
quotes adorns his gravestone and that of his beloved Elizabeth. Hers simply
says, "The forgiveness of sin is perpetual." His argues, "Redemption first
is not required." They reside together again in perpetuity. Visitation
Wednesday, Nov.16, 2011 at Drake and Sons Funeral Home, 5303 N. Western
Ave., Chicago from 5 to 9 p.m. Family and friends will met at St. Hilary
Church, 5600 N. California, Chicago for a 10 a.m. funeral mass. Interment
