Former US attorney’s criminal division Chief Robert Louis Brosio died on Friday, March 28, in a Pasadena Hospital. He was 77 years old.

Brosio headed the criminal division in Los Angeles for almost three decades, supervising hundreds of assistant US attorneys many of who later became prominent lawyers, judges and law professors, the Pasadena Star-News reported.

The federal prosecutor was also a key figure in some of the country’s biggest federal cases such as the prosecution of top luxury hotel developer Charles Keating and the civil right cases against police officers involved in the the beating of Rodney King, according to the Los Angeles Times.

He and his brother Fred, who was the chief of the Civil Division, were dubbed as “an institution within an institution,” the Star-News reported. Fred died last January at the age of 84.

A conference room referred to as the Brosio Room inside the Los Angeles U.S. Attorney’s Office remains to this day.

He was married to Anne Landon Harris and together, they moved in 1963 from Washngton D.C. to South Pasadena, where they stayed for almost half a century, built a home and raised their two children, the Star-News reported.

Brosio and Anne had been married for 47 years until Anne passed away in February 2009.

Brosio was also a lover of music. He became active in several classical music groups including the Pasadena Symphony and the Coleman Chamber Music Association after he retired in 1994.

He is survived by his two children, Hilaire Alexander Brosio and Serena Louise Brosio, daughter-in-law Szilvia Gogh, son-in-law Mark Olsen, and grandson Enzo Corrado Brosio.

Donations in lieu of flowers can be made to the Pasadena Humane Society or the Coleman Chamber Music Association.

Funeral services will be held at 10:00 a.m. this Friday, April 4, at Holy Family Church in South Pasadena.
