Judy and Family,



My prayers are with you all during this time of your (our) loss.



What a privledge it was for me to be a friend of Mike. He had the knack of keeping me involved with numerous activities in and around Fort Wayne for which I am so greatful.



From running to card playing, from bingo to basketball, from reading to teaching, from BACA to the MCL-- Mike was a great competitor.





But above all Mike's love for his Family and the Corps will always be

how I will remember Mike the most.



Semper Fidelis,

Dan, Marinda and Family

Judy and Family,



I am deeply sorry for your loss.



I am proud to say that I served alongside 1stSgt Broz when we were on I-I duty together in Fort Wayne.



As a young Captain, he taught me many things that I have have used throughout my career as a Marine Officer.



He sure enjoyed our daily dose of sports, whether it was playing (he had one wicked wrist-shot in floor hockey!), talking, or just watching sports, it was his passion.



The Corps was better because he served. He will be missed.



Semper Fi 1stSgt Broz!

I am so sad to hear we lost Mike. He was alsways so gracious and accommodating to me and my staff when ever we played at MCL. He treated us like stars. I will miss him every time I perform there. My April 23rd show will be dedicated to his memory.

What a great loss we have in the passing of Michael E. Broz USMC Ret. He will long be remembered for all his many achievements but especially all he accomplished at the Fort Miami Detachment of the Marine Corps League. He however, would be the last one to speak of theses things. It has been an incredible honor for us to know him.

We are shocked at the loss of our good friend and our Commandant Mike. Just can't find the words to describe our sadness and devastation. Our most sincere sympathy goes out to Judy and family. Mike's legacy will live on at our Marine Corps League,

where he will be so greatly missed.

We will never forget him. God must certainly have reserved a spot in heavan for this wonderful man. His family can be so proud of all his accomplishments.
