Dr Bill was an absolutely AMAZING, caring man that would do anything to help his patients and will surely be missed! I've been a patient of Dr Bill's for the last 40+yrs (elementary school to my 50's) and every time I saw him he always had the biggest smile on his face and would work his magic to make sure I wasn't in pain any longer. I'm sure going to miss that smile and him "yelling" (because we all know his yelling was kind words of encouragement) at me to TAKE CARE OF MYSELF!! Rest in peace Dr Bill, you were ONE OF A KIND!!!

Dr Bill was a fantastic person. I have been getting wisdom and adjustments from him for over 30 years. He was always quick with a laugh and smile. He and his staff made visits feel like home.
My thoughts are with his family, both home and work, and those who had the pleasure of knowing him. He will be greatly missed.
Rest in peace Dr Bill

Dr. Bill was one of the nicest people I have ever known. I was his patient on and off for almost 20 years. He'd "fix me good" until I'd do something to mess it up. Always happy. Always caring. Always asking about my family, school, church, work, etc. So very kind. So very sincere. I will really miss him. He was a good man and a smart man.

He was a kind and happy person. I knew him as my chiroprator. He always made you feel comfortable whenever he worked his talents on your back, etc.

Dr Bill had an outstanding soul and he was the best chiropractor I have ever seen. I was his patient for over 30 years and joked with him that he needed to out live me because he had magical hands. His passing has shocked me to the core. May God offer comfort to his family and staff as they deal with this loss.

Dr. Bill was always in an upbeat mood. He never avoided a pleasant conversation while making adjustments. Elkhart has lost an institution with the passing of Dr. Bill. One of my younger brothers was a classmate of Bill's spouse. Rest in Peace good friend. Condolences to his loving family.

I have known Bill for almost 50 years, he wasn't just my chiropracter but a friend. He was so nice and we always had a good laugh and conversation. My sister used to live next to him at the lake and my parents went to Bill Senior for adjustments. He will truly be missed by all who knew him. My sympathies go out to his wife and kids and all the great girls in the office.

I have been a patient with Dr. Bill for 20 years. He was the best, I walked out much straighter then when I walked in he was very knowledgeable. He didn't have much to work with being in construction for 50 some years. Not only a Great Chiropractor he was a good friend and the staff was always very nice and helpful. My fullest sympathy to the family and staff. Miss You, My Friend

I was a dedicated patient of Dr. Broderick for a few years now. He was always nice and gental. Always called me kid. He basically made me feel like I was the most important person in that office while I was there. I will miss him greatly. It is such a shock to me. I just saw him last Friday. Nothing will be the same again...

I started visiting Dr. Bill at his Chiropractic office in 2001 on recommendation from my employer, I did not know what to expect, has I had never been to a Chiropractor before. his staff was very helpful and easy to work with has they have always been to this day. When I met Dr. Bill ( I got the Son not the Dad) I met a man who was sincere very caring and very serious about his work, he was extremely knowledgeable about how the body should work and mine was not working that way, but he got me there and kept me that way for the last 24 years. He did such a good job on me that I did not have to go back for several years in between, however I want you all to know that when I did,that he and his staff treated me like I had just been there the day before, "hello Joe, what brings you in today?" I had to take a second look, Dr. Bill did not have his mustache anymore! but everything else was just the same. I always enjoyed his friendly disposition and the many conversations we shared, He will be dearly missed...May God Bless and give comfort to his family.
