What a lovely obituary. Sorry for your loss.

My Family would like to express our condolences to you family with passing of your father.

Uncle Robert was my great uncle, and great to me he was indeed.  On a visit to his and Aunt Rubyes House with my mom, he told me to come by and help him with some yard work.  He taught me exactly the way he wanted it and did not accept anything less.  Over the years we spent together he taught me many things like how to use tools, train a dog, and even planting vegetables.  No matter what he taught me there was always a theme of taking pride in what you do, and that has followed me to this day. We would have conversations about school, sports, and life in general.  The best thing about our talking to Uncle Robert is that he would often advise but never scold or belittle me.  He was the best, and I love him.

Nothing but love from the Bell family'...it was a honor to know this man"..God Bless the Broom Family during this time and all times"

ï¶ God bless you Uncle Robert. A man who was contemporaries with brothers like Byrd and Monk and Malcolm.  A man who lived through the Great Depression, who fought during WWII, then came back here to fight another kind of war to achieve the American Dream for his family. God bless you Uncle Robert, a man with a tons of self respect and confidence. 
ï¶ I wonder when did those qualities emerged in you.  Was it when you joined the armed forces during WWII and found yourself in England, like the Tuskegee Airmen, who like you, contributed to important supply missions against the Nazis; or did you develop them when you were a part of a combat unit in the Philippines when the Japanese tried to take over it? Maybe you gained them even before that, when you a young man living and working in PC where in order to save your life, you had to leap from a moving car that was being crushed by a powerful freight train?  
ï¶ I don't know that Uncle Robert, but over the years you provided me with mounds of examples demonstrating your respect and confidence as a husband and a father.  So, what I do know is today as a father and a grandfather myself, I rely on images of you making decisive decisions and smart responses over and over, when bad showed up.  I try to emulate you in every way. 
ï¶ Your legacy lives in me, Uncle Robert; it lives in my children and in my grandchildren. Our lives are blessed because I learn so much from you: a gentleman and a worthy member of the Greatest Generation ever.

Uncle Robert, I will always remember you as the distinguished gentleman you were.  You make me proud to be a part of the Broom (e) legacy.  You will be remembered as a great Husband, Father, Grandfather, Uncle, and Friend. You will be greatly missed. Your Loving Niece,

                                                                       Felecia Broome-Plant City, FL

Dad, your soul has ascended beyond this earth and I feel that I have lost you.  But I believe it was a much deserved, smooth and peaceful transition for you and I thank God for that. 

I am forever indebted to you, so proud to be your son, and I love and will miss you immeasurably.

Today I count the many joys and blessings in my life that were made possible through your love, goodness and effort.

Thank you for all that you have done for me, your family and your community.

Always Your Loving Son,
Bobby
