To The Family of Our Chaplain:
The was nobody like Father Bill. As our Chaplain in the Marine Corps League whenever we needed prayer all we had to do is look up and there was Father Bill. His prayers inspired us. They reminded us that God is our leader and that this nation was ordained by His hand as a Constitutionally limited Republic. All of the members of the Marine Corps League admired and respected Father Bill. We knew he was a Man of God and a patriot.
God Bless Father Bill, priest, sailor and patriot.
Semper Fidelis
Memory Eternal

Father Broach was an absolutely great shepherd to his small congregation. Whenever one of his church members called upon him for support, he came to give them comfort and assistance. Truly, he will be missed.
