Jerome "Jerry" Broin

Jerome "Jerry" Broin passed away on August 9, 2018 at HCMC in Minneapolis. He was born on February 21, 1934 in Morgan MN to Omer and Blanche (Langevin) Broin. Jerry was an ambitious man in life, with a strong passion for his family. There was nothing he loved more than rocking in his favorite rocker. All the children and grandchildren have fond memories of their younger years on his lap rocking. Jerry was a 1954 graduate of Faribault High School. The day after his graduation, Jerry joined the Navy where he spent four years a Medic working in the Hospital at Ft. LaJune NC. On September 28, 1957 he married his wife of 60 years, Delores Uhlir at the St. Lawrence Church in Faribault. Jerry had a full career of owning and running several business. He was member of the American Legion, a very active former member of the Jaycees, and past member of the Green Isle Fire Department. Jerry was a very caring and generous man helping many along the way when they fell upon hard times. He always had a funny story and would greet you with a smile. Jerry was a loving husband, the greatest father in the world, and a grandfather that thought the world of each of his grandchildren...they were his pride and joy. Jerry is survived by his wife, Dee Broin of Green Isle; daughter, Susan Kreger (Bob Bliss) of Chaska; son, Steve "Herbie" (Kay) Broin of Cologne; grandchildren, Jeff (Natalie) Kreger, Lisa (Tony) Zaudtke, Matt (Erika) Kreger and Jesse Broin; and great granddaughter, Avery Kreger.
