SOUTH BEND - Charles "Chuck" Omer Broomall of Chattahoochee, FL passed away peacefully on Wednesday, August 14, 2013 at Tallahassee Memorial Hospital. He was born in South Bend on July 10, 1923 to the late Charles J. and Olive (VanOssenbruggen) Broomall.

Though a "Mid-Westerner" at heart he relocated frequently, giving him the opportunity to travel and make many friends. A loving husband and dad, Chuck enjoyed life. After graduating from Plymouth High School, Chuck enlisted in the Army Air Corps. During his service for his country he received the Purple Heart. After leaving the service, Chuck attended Purdue University where he earned a BS degree in Forestry. His first employment after graduation was in commercial mushroom growing.
