John J. Broderick

John J Broderick, a resident of Tioga County, NY, a devoted family man and dedicated public servant, passed away on June 3, 2026 at the age of 85. He leaves behind a profound legacy of honor, courage, and unwavering love.

Born September 2, 1940 in Brooklyn, NY as the only child to Francis and Margaret, John has always loved his Brooklyn Dodgers and dreamed of one day becoming a Police Officer. He was a proud Army veteran and a retired NYC Transit Police Officer who spent his life serving and protecting others.

John shared a beautiful 41-year marriage with his beloved wife, Mary, who preceded him in death. He was also predeceased by his eldest son, John P.

John’s legacy continues through his surviving sons, Francis and Michael. He was a cherished “PopPop” to his grandchildren, James, Gianna, and Joseph, who will forever hold his memory close to their hearts.

Throughout his life, John embodied the true spirit of service—first through his bravery in the military and later protecting the community for 20 years as a police officer. He will be remembered for his steadfast commitment to his country, his dedication to his fellow citizens, and the deep, enduring love he had for his wife, Mary and his family.
