Mr. Adolph Browne Jr. Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

On June 5, 1953, God shared his love with the world in the form of Adolph Browne, Jr. (aka “Eggie” or “Eggie Volk”) to the late parents Adolph Browne, Sr. and Dorothy Leonidas Browne in Philadelphia, PA. He was the fourth son of eight children. On June 4, 2022, Adolph gained the ultimate victory. God called his son home to spread his joy of laughter and love around Heaven. Adolph was educated in the Philadelphia, PA public schools, until he was sent to Los Angeles to live with his sister Karen. He graduated from Los Angeles High School in 1972. In 1975, Adolph joined the United States Army and received a Diploma from the United States Army Quartermaster School, Fort Lee, VA as a Subsistence Supply Specialist. He was stationed in Fort Richardson Alaska and Honorable Discharge in 1981. Upon being discharge from the Army, Adolph attended the Delaware Valley School of Trades and earned a Certificate in Electricity. In 1981, his Department of Defense (DOD) career started. First job was working at the Quarter Masters at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard in Philadelphia, PA as a Laborer and Material and Sorter Classifier for seven years. He worked at Defense Reutilization Management Office (DRMO) Philadelphia as a Hazardous Material Processor for nine years. While work with DRMO he received a Diploma from the United States Army Logistics Management College for Defense Reutilization & Marketing Operations-Basic. He received various training certificates and Performance Awards. In 1997, he was rifted the Willow Grove Naval Air Station, PA where he worked as a Janitor Engineer for seven years. While there he received a certificate of appreciation for displaying true concern, consistently caring for the staff and the children’s needs from the Commanding Officer. After 29 years of combine Military and Civil Services Adolph was finally retired. So, we thought. Although retire for the government Adolph still wanted to work. In 2005 he worked for DCL Transportation-Philadelphia, PA as a Mini-Bus Driver until 2006, when he and his wife moved to Alexandria, Va. In Alexandria, Adolph worked for UPS and Metro Access as a Driver. He then worked for the Commonwealth of Virginia as a School Security Officer for the Alexandria Public Schools District where he earned a certification from the Department of Criminal Justice Services. He still couldn’t find something that satisfied him until in 2013 when an associate referred him to NAPA-Fairfax where he worked as a driver, delivery auto parts. In December 2021 he retired again. Adolph could only stay still for a while. He wanted to work he didn’t want to sit around doing nothing. Adolph would mop the hardwood floors every other day. He would make them so clean “that we could eat off of them” that’s what he would say. He loved those floors. He would go to the store and come back and say, “put in an application online for this store or that store, someone had told him that they were hiring”. While waiting for one of them to contact him, he found a job working at the Thrift Store, he worked there until the day before the Lord called him home. June 4, 2022, one day before his 69th Birthday. He wanted to make 70, but the Lord said otherwise. Adolph, Eggie or Eggie Volk was the comedian of the family always telling jokes. Everyone he encountered always left laughing. I’m sure he’s in Heaven telling jokes now. Adolph met his wife (Molotle (aka Lottie)) in 1991, when he was working for DRMO. On the first day she started work, he had picked her up at the gate to bring her to the office. He told her “He was going to marry her”. She told him, “He didn’t even know her”. Three years later they started dating and then on October 5, 1996, they were married and remained married for 25 years, 8 months and 10 days. Then the Lord called him home while he was sleeping. The way he said he wanted to go. Adolph loved the oldies. His favorite scripture was Ecclesiastes 10:19 “A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry, but money answer all things”. KJV. Adolph leaves to cherish his love, memories, and laughter. His beloved wife Molotle (aka. Lottie), Three children, Tawanna Smith, Adolph Lee and Anthony Browne.
