Thomas Ray Broadbent

Edie, Steph, Ken, Cathy, and Lisa - I was so very sorry to hear about T. Ray. What a great neighborhood we had - I loved coming to your house and spending time in the backyard (thank heavens you had Skipper to my Barbie, Steph). It was always great hearing the laughter of the Dinner Club and the ongoing discussions of every possible topic. T. Ray was always a very special man to me and very revered by our family for his sense of humor, sensitivity, and incredible intelligence. I'm certain...

Dear Mrs. Broadbent and Family, I too was one of Dr. Broadbent's patients born in 1958 and was lucky to have a man of his calibur and skill as my Plastic Surgeon. My cleft lip and palate were one of the worst he had seen at that point. After a number of surgeries and with Dr. Woolfe a final refinement in 1988 I am as normal as I can be under the circumstances and appreciate the love and caring he gave me and my family while in his care. He was truely a man above men and I will always have...

Dear Lisa and family,
I have the best memories growing up on 13th South. A lot of my time was spent running around on Bonneville Golf Course and in your backyard. I never did play in a funner playhouse or swing on a better hammock! My siblings are reminding me that I took my gerbil to your dad after he bit off his own tail ( he was an anxious little critter!) I do remember walking up the street with cage in hand and your dad sewed his tail back on. It worked! We love you so much and...

Dear Mrs. Broadbent and Family...
I was saddened to hear of Dr. Broadbents' passing. I was one of Dr. Broadbent's patients. He changed my life... His skill and dedication were unmatched. I was one born with a cleft lip and palate and Dr. Broadbent repaired the defect and made my life whole. His kindness and skill have changed lives all across the world. He was a dear, dear man and a wonderful surgeon. He will be greatly missed.

My deep sympathy... He was a very kind doctor and wanted me to feel more happy and I had several cleft and palate surgeries by him from being two years old thru teenage. I really thank him for everything he could do. I looked more normal then before. He did a wonderful job!

Dr. Broadbent fixed my sticking out ears 40 years ago so that I could wear a pony tail. He was a great man. Thanks to this family for sharing him with all of his patients annd making our lives better. God bless you all. Diane Benson

Dear Edith and wonderful Broadbent Family,
Your husband, father and grandfather brought light to everyone he touched. His steady and always appropriate acts of kindness have blessed countless. We will never forget his surgeon's hands on a shovel in an heroic effort to help save our home from a mudslide. He never thought about himself and was Christlike in his humanitarian service. God be thanked for Ray and for his precious eternal family. May you be blessed with peace in your...

My deepest sympathy to the Broadbent family in the passing of Dr. Broadbent. I will always remember Dr. Broadbent's kind words and gentle example. When I was a boy scout, Dr. Broadbent spent over 2 hours with me working on the Sculpturing merit badge. His time was so valuable (which I really didn't appreciate at the time) but he gladly took the time to teach me and made me feel special. I will always remember and appreciate that. He always had a kind word for us who were friends of Ken. ...
