Loral G. Browning, Sr.

Loral G. Browning Sr., age 86, passed away surrounded by family on June 25, 2019. Loral was born on October 10, 1932 in Bradner, OH, the son of the late Walter Sr. and Dottie Browning. He grew up in Northwest Ohio, attending Monclova Primary School, graduating from Clay High School in 1950 and learned the ins-and-outs of the grocery business at various A & P Tea Company locations. After 28 years at A & P, it was time to actualize his love of customer service and knowledge of business to fruition. In 1978, Brownings Food Center evolved and served the Whitehouse community until 1998. After his retirement, Loral immersed himself in the outdoors. Weather permitting, youd find him either playing a round of golf, relaxing by the camper or taking the family out on the boat. Loral also spent his days glued to anything related to sports. He especially enjoyed watching the Red Wings, Detroit Tigers, Notre Dame, and the Green Bay Packers. Lorals faith was constant. He was a longtime member of St. Joan of Arc and Blessed Sacrament Catholic Churches. Throughout the difficult times in Lorals life, though his physical state may have weakened, spiritually he remained strong. Loral was a kind, hard-working man that loved and cherished his family.
