It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of one of our longtime OBR family members, John Broas. His wife asked that we share this news with his baseball family.
John was one of those people who quietly did so much behind the scenes, often without recognition. Long before the town stepped in, John was out there working on the fields, caring for the grass, and putting in countless hours to help build what we have today. Posy is as much his as anyone’s.
All of John’s boys came through OBR, playing both rec and travel baseball. The Broas family has given so much to this town through baseball, basketball, and flag football over the years.
We extend our deepest condolences to the entire Broas family during this incredibly difficult time. Services are expected to be next week, likely Friday. As soon as we receive more details, we will share them with the community.
Please keep the Broas family in your thoughts and prayers. 💙
