Mr. William Lewis Broadie, 62, “Bunky,” as he was known by family and close friends, entered into eternal rest in the early morning hours of June 7, 2013, at High Point Regional UNC Hospital after an extended illness. William was born to Wilson and Effie Lee Broadie on Sept. 22, 1950, and attended Church Street School located in Thomasville, N.C.
