Dr. Harley Raymond  Bragg
Harley Raymond Bragg passed away in his sleep peacefully at his home in Manassas, Virginia at 2:15am on March 16, 2018 at the age of 83 after a battle with cancer.

Harley is predeceased by his father, Wallace Raymond Bragg, his mother, Eulah Amy Bragg, and his sister, Barbara Ellen Bragg Boles.

Harley is survived by his loving wife, Bobbie of 62 years. They were married in Santa Barbara, California on December 30, 1955.

Harley is lovingly remembered by his daughter and son-in-law, Denise and Mark Powers of Fairfax, Virginia; son and daughter-in-law, Don and Christi Bragg of San Jose, California; daughter and son-in-law Dana and John Clark of San Rafael, California; his granddaughter and grandson-in-law, Alexandra and Dimitri Fineskos and granddaughter Jillian Powers of Centreville, Virginia; and granddaughters Katie and Christie Clark of San Rafael, California.

Harley was born in Santa Ana, California on March 31, 1934. He graduated from Whittier High School in 1952 and went on to earn a Bachelor’s Degree from the University of California, Santa Barbara in 1956. He attended the University of the Pacific in San Francisco where he earned a degree in Dentistry. After serving honorably in the U.S. Army, he began his 42 year dental practice in Saratoga, California and loved his staff as family. Once retired, he took on a new career as a docent at the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Air and Space

Harley is remembered for his love of life and a good joke. He was giving of his time and expertise with his woodworking skills and spent his retirement years making pizza cutters, furniture, and really amazing rocking chairs. He was a 32nd Degree Mason and a member of the Elks Lodge #2626 in Chester, California.

The celebration of life will be held at the Baker-Post Funeral Home, 10001 Nokesville Road, Manassas, Virginia on March 31, 2018 with visitation at 11:00am, service at 12:00pm and a reception following at their home.
