Obituary

George Seabury Broadbent, 85, of Winchester died peacefully at Aberjona Nursing Center after a long illness on Jan 2, 2019. He was the beloved husband of the late Catherine C. Broadbent for 57 years.
Born in New Bedford, he was the only child of the late Everett E. Broadbent and Helen Broadbent. He was an honor student, active in ROTC and voted most talkative in high school. He graduated from UMASS Amherst, enlisted in The U.S. Air Force and was stationed at Fort Pepperell in Newfoundland.
George had a long successful career. He earned an MBA from Bentley University, and later became an Enrolled Agent Tax Practitioner. During his career he was a Controller at Tufts University; Controller at Bentley University; Vice President of Finance and Administration at Emerson College; CFO at Art Institute of Boston and later founded a tax practice.
George enjoyed the simpler things in life. He was an avid dog lover, often sharing his lunch with them. Cars and driving were a passion. He always asked “how is your car running?” He was delighted that his favorite team, The Boston Red Sox, won another World Series in 2018. He also loved to talk about politics, watch police shows, laughed heartily at a good joke, fan of country music and never turned down a good piece of cake. Most of all, he enjoyed the company and conversations with his family, friends and clients.
He was the father of Cynthia Ballo of Lexington, David Broadbent of Arlington, VA, Carol Stevenson of Winchester and the late Drew Broadbent. He was the devoted grandfather of Phillip C. Ballo, Julie Ballo of Lexington, and Brooke Stevenson of Winchester.
