I was very saddened to hear about Charlie. Before I was hired in 1980, I was sent to the County Office to meet with Mr. Broadway. Now, I was just out of college, long reddish hair and beard, tinted glasses---I must have looked like an alien to him! But he saw through that nonsense, and we chatted like we were old friends. My condolences go to the Broadway family and to all those who cared for him so much.##imported-begin##Barry Farley##imported-end##
Ginny, Chuck, Jimbo and families: My thoughts and prayers are with you. Charley was devoted to his family, well respected through out the community, as well as a true gentleman bearing a contagious smile every time I saw him. Ginny,thank you for all the guidance you have given me throughout the years. Chuck, God Bless you as I know it is difficult to loose a dad but he loved you very much and I know that you have many wonderful memories to share with his grandchildren. God Bless, Krystal##imported-begin##Krystal Nicol Huchingson (71)##imported-end##
I met Charlie when our children (Jim & Sherry) became engaged, and knew immediately that my daughter would have the best in-laws in the world, What a legacy Charlie has left. The love and admiration he engendered in all who knew him is remarkable. His children and grandchildren were indeed fortunate to have such a role model, and he will be sorely missed.##imported-begin##Judith Perkins##imported-end##
Charlie Broadway was a wonderful, remarkable man, not just for his role as teacher, coach, assistant principal and friend at Eustis High School, but for all the years after that. He was always there with a hug and hello whenever he saw you. He will be remembered and missed at our next reunion. My thoughts and prayers are with Ginny and the family at this time.##imported-begin##Joretta Dailey Caprio##imported-end##

My mom had always talked about hansome Coach Broadway from her years @ EHS in the 50s and how special he was to all the students. I now have had the pleasure of working for Chuck for many years and have always been made to feel part of the family. Charley is part of the rich heritage of this community and exemplifies the values that we strive to pass on to the next generation. I'll miss your hugs and kisses but know that we'll see you again.##imported-begin##Karen Gnann Mielke##imported-end##
