Gene was born August 3, 1936 in Macon County, Alabama to William I.  Broach Sr. and Jimmie Ruth Reynolds Broach. He grew up in the rural county attending Notasulga High School where he played football, basketball, and baseball. As a young man, Gene

worked the wheat harvest in Nebraska at the age of 16 then several retail jobs in the Notasulga area before joining the U. S. Air Force.  He honorably served our country in the specialties of Avionics and ECM (Electronic Counter Measures) with tours in Korea and Vietnam where he received a Bronze Star for Meritorious Service in 1969. He retired as a Chief Master Sargent after 23 years of service. He then launched a second career with the U.S. Postal service in Montgomery, Alabama which spanned another 20 years.

Gene was an active member of Liberty City Methodist Church in Notasulga. His outgoing and friendly nature endeared him to everyone he met.  He had a wealth of knowledge and experience that he loved to share with others.

The love of his life, Liz, awaits a reunion with him in heaven. Dad or ‘Gdaddy’, as he was known to his children and grandchildren, will be held in high honor and cherished remembrance until they see him again.

Gene will be laid to rest with honors at the Alabama National Cemetery in Montevallo, Alabama in a private ceremony.
