Richard "Dicky" Lee Broy, Sr., age 78 of Jeffersonville, passed away Sunday, November 16, 2025, at Clark Memorial Hospital. Dicky honorably served in the United States Marine Corps. Upon returning home to Indiana, he dedicated the next quarter-century to the Jeffersonville Fire Department, serving mostly at the Hamburg Pike and Wall Street stations. There, he became a trusted mentor, respected leader, and true brother-in-arms. Dicky retired with distinction as Captain of Engine #3 — a role he carried with humility, courage, and unwavering dedication.
He is survived by his loving wife of twenty years, Mary M. (Payne) Broy; his children, Krissy Broy and Richard Broy, Jr.; his cherished granddaughter, Hannah; his mother, Inez (Asher) Broy; his sisters, Marilyn Carver (David), Gail Bailey (Randy), and Debbie McGlone; and his brothers, Alan, Frank, and John Broy. Each of them carries a piece of his legacy — his laughter, his grit, and his generous heart.
Visitation will begin 11 AM on Saturday, November 22, 2025 at Legacy Funeral Center. Funeral services will be held 2 PM on Saturday, November 22, 2025, at Legacy Funeral Center (921 Main Street, Jeffersonville). In a fitting tribute to a man who served both his nation and his community with honor, the Jeffersonville Fire House Honor Guard will join the Fort Knox Military Detail Honor Guard to render their respects. Graveside services will follow at a later date at Utica Cemetery, where he will be laid to rest with dignity and gratitude.

Plant a tree: How does it work
When your purchase is complete, a post will be made on the tribute wall of the deceased signifying the planting of a memorial tree.
An official certificate recognizing your purchase will be included with your email receipt. You can then forward the email to the family or print it and give it to them personally.
After an order is placed, our forestry partners will plant the tree in the area of greatest need (nearest the funeral home), according to the planting schedule for the year.
Due to seasonal conditions, the tree planting takes place during the spring and summer.
