He was an avid outdoorsman. He loved to hunt, fish and play softball. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. If he ever called you friend, you truly had a friend in Tommy Broach. He loved his time with his family especially his grandchildren. He was always teaching his grandsons everything he knew about baseball. He would always go to their games, if he was able, and encourage them. He watched his granddaughters as well. Whether it was baseball, softball, volleyball, basketball, clogging, ballet or jazz, they could always be assured their “Papa” was going to be there. He loved each of them to the moon and back.

Bobby Broach officiating. The interment will immediately follow at the Historic Graniteville Cemetery.
