Please see Bill’s Obituary below:

                             William F. Broderick

Age 91. Born November 4, 1931 in Philadelphia, PA, to the late William and Kathryn (Toomey) Broderick and preceded in death by his sisters Margaret, Eleanor, brother George, and his son Mark.

He is survived by his beloved wife of 43 years, Cathy James; his son Bill (Tim) Broderick, daughter Beth Ann (Jim) Schultenover and his daughter-in-law Mary Jo Broderick; his step-children Don (Laura) James, Jon (Michele) James, and Cynthia (Robert, deceased) Morace. In addition, he is survived by grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and many (grand) nieces and (grand) nephews. He was truly loved by all who knew him.

Bill had a long, rich, and happy life. He graduated from North Catholic High School in Philadelphia and served in the Navy on the USS Ticonderoga in the early 1950s. Although a printer by profession, he also had a knack for fixing just about anything. Bill was a fantastic storyteller with a great sense of humor and loved community theater, travel, music, having fun, and rooting for the Eagles.

A Memorial Service is being planned at Pebble Hill Church in Doylestown. In lieu of flowers, if you wish, please donate in his name to the American Heart Association, the Bucks County SPCA, or a charity of your choice.
