BRODERICK -- Thomas Francis Broderick, age 57, a resident of Albuquerque, NM since 1975, died peacefully on Thursday, January 10, 2008 at his home with the family he loved. He was born in Yonkers, New York on November 17, 1950 to William and Frances Broderick. Tom married Joann Francomano on June 10, 1972 in Yonkers where his first child, Julie, was born. His son, Thomas, was born in Albuquerque. Besides his beloved Joann and his beautiful children, Tom is survived by his childrens' dedicated and caring spouses, Joseph Burke and Jill Broderick, his adoring grandchildren, Joseph, Matthew and Catherine, all of Albuquerque, his brother William and sister-in-law Lucille of Harrison, NY and many other relatives. Tom always carried fond memories of his grandparents, William and Margaret Broderick (originally of Galway, Ireland), and Francis (Pop Pop) and Anna Walsh of New York. Tom often spoke of spending wonderful summer afternoons at Yankee Stadium with Pop Pop and his brother, Bill. Tom received a Bachelor of Science degree in accounting from Fordham University in New York where he was president of Beta Alpha Psi fraternity. Tom practiced as a CPA in Albuquerque for over 30 years and was the founding partner of Broderick & Co. Tom was always proud of the caring and personalized service that he gave to his clients. During Tom's business career, he served on many boards. At the time of his death, he was serving as treasurer of the Board of Director's of New Mexico Mutual Casualty Co. The highlight of Tom's career came in 2001 when his son joined the firm where they worked together for 5 years. Tom was known for his love of family, literature, sports (particularly the New York Yankees), Irish history, Beatles and other '60s music, theater, the ocean, and Italian food (especially the home cooked variety prepared by Joann or Nonna) which he enjoyed with a good glass of Chianti. The family would like to express their appreciation for the very caring hospice workers of VistaCare, Dr. Al, Father Charles and all of the friends and family that provided love, support and prayers. At his request, Tom will be remembered at a private family service. Rather than flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Tom's name to the Rio Grande Division of the Multiple Sclerosis Society, 4125 Carlisle Blvd NE, Suite A, Albuquerque, NM 87107 (phone: 505-244-0625).
