L. Earl Broadway Jr., 65, passed away peacefully Friday, April 3, 2015, after a short battle with cancer. Because of his love of the great outdoors, a private graveside service will be in Waco Memorial Park.
Laddie Earl was born in Waco, Texas, to the late Laddie Earl Sr. and Mary Elizabeth McMillan Broadway. He attended schools in Waco where he was active in sports; and graduated from Waco High School in 1968. While attending McLennan Community College, he played baseball for the Highlanders. Earl graduated from Sam Houston State University in 1973 with a BS in Corrections and Criminology. In 1979, he earned a Master of Criminal Justice.
On August 9, 1970, Earl met Mary Arline Broadway and exactly five years later, they were married at St. Louis Catholic Church. During Earl's career, he was an adult Probation Officer for McLennan County; and was commissioned a member of the Governor's Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Advisory Board. He later worked in the finance industry and transitioned into owning his own business in real estate and rental property.
Hunting and fishing were always Earl's favorite hobbies. During his retirement years, he enjoyed cruising around town on his bike; and it was usually in the back of his truck so he would be ready to ride, even on vacations.
He was preceded in death by his only sibling, Mary Carol Hartley.
Survivors include his wife of 39 years, Mary; daughters, Jill Marie Hamm and her husband, Justin, and Ellen Elizabeth Whitson and her husband, Jared; grandchildren: Carson and Emery Ham, and Hollin and Elizabeth "Libby" Whitson; other relatives and many friends.
