Robert James Broderick, 88, quietly
passed away at his home in Edmonds
on April 1, 2010. He was surrounded
by his beloved wife, Carolyn, son
Robert Thomas and daughters: Carol,
Christine, and Robyn. He was also
proud of six grandchildren and 9
great-grandchildren.
A decorated World War II veteran,
Mr. Broderick honorably served in
the United States Army, 508th
Parachute Infantry Regiment and the
82nd Airborne Division, with
extensive combat experience in the
European Theater.
Following his military service he
graduated from the University of
Washington with a degree in Business
Administration, and went on to a
successful 30-year career with Ford
Motor Company.
Privately he enjoyed gardening;
building model airplanes, caring for
his dogs and socializing with
friends. He loved Whidbey Island,
where he and his family kept a
residence for many years. Known
affectionately as “The Mighty
Tiger,” he lived to serve his
country, excel in his profession
and, most of all, to provide for his
family.
Remembrances may be made to the VFW
local chapter in Edmonds, WA. in
honor of his name and service.
