Peter Broadly, BHS '65 (1947-2024)

 

Peter John Broadley
September 1, 1947 - September 3, 2024

Peter J. Broadley – BHS 65, passed away 9/3/2024 from lung cancer at his home in New Glarus, WI. He was born 9/1/1947 in Glendale, CA with his fraternal twin brother, John P. Broadley.  Peter grew up with a passion for surfing and boating with his family.  In July of 1967, he was drafted into the US Army and served in the 173rd Airborne in Vietnam. He was awarded two Purple Hearts and a Bronze Star.  

Pete married Carol Follendorf in 1975 in Wisconsin Dells, then they relocated to the Lake Tahoe area in 1978.  In 1982 they moved to Oregon, WI where they raised their daughters, Jennifer and Allison. They owned and operated Pete’s Auto Parts in Oregon for several years, and then Pete entered the electrical apprenticeship program with the IBEW Local 159 in Madison. He worked at the University of Wisconsin until he retired.  

Pete always enjoyed the outdoors - boating, fishing, camping, and skiing with his family, along with golfing with his buddies. He was a member of the National Ski Patrol at Devil’s Head Ski Resort for 20 years. In 2002 Pete and Carol built their dream home where they could enjoy the spectacular views overlooking the New Glarus, Wisconsin hillsides.  For the past 8 years they spent the winter seasons together on Oahu, Hawaii, with their daughters joining them for many special visits.  

Peter is survived by his wife Carol, daughters Jennifer and Allison, and his sister Heather Ludwig.  He was preceded in death by his parents and twin brother John P. Broadley.

Jerilyn Louise Hullihan Pinnell
January 3, 1948 - June 10, 2025
Jeri lived in Riverside California at the time of her passing
Parents: Leo and Helen Cornett Hullihan

JERI REMEMBRANCE 

Jeri Hullihan Pinnell was born in Glendale, CA on January 3, 1948. The family moved to Burbank shortly after she was born. Jeri went to Washington ES, John Muir JRHS, and Burbank High, where she directed and managed several school plays. Jeri was a Queen of Job’s Daughters and had many lifelong friends from that experience. She received an AA Degree from Riverside CC. 

Jeri married BHS ‘65 classmate, Gary Pinnell (RIP), and loved going to Monument Valley, Sedona and Carmel on vacations. She was attracted to the airline business and was a flight attendant for American Airlines for 45 years, ending with international flights to London, Tokyo and Shanghai. 

Jeri was a friend to many and dearly loved by her brother Jim, BHS ‘64, his children and eight grandchildren. Her sudden death on June 10, 2025 was unexpected, but we will cherish our wonderful memories.

Jeannie Parrinello Longmore BHS '64 and sister to Frank Parrinello BHS '61 wrote on July 31, 2025:

"My beloved Brother Frank Parrinello who graduated 1961 BHS passed today at 1:30 pm from cancer."

Frank was born in New York to Anthony and Frances Parrinello. When he attended Burbank High School, he was Co-Captain of the B Football Team and played Varsity Baseball. In 1966, he married Kathleen Vivirito. Frank was with the Burbank Unified School District for many years. He was the Vice Principal at the former Jordan Middle School (now Dolores Huerta Middle School). He also worked at Luther Jr High and after retirement, Frank and Kathi moved to Las Vegas NV.

He is survived by his wife, Kathi Vivirito Parrinello BHS '64, a son Michael Parrinello (wife Jessica) and two Grandchildren, Nicholas Parrinello who is currently at West Point, and Olivia Parrinello, who is in college at Alabama University and his only sibling, his sister Jeanne Parrinello Longmore BHS '64 and her husband Ruben and their children.

Frank was a wonderful person, husband, father, grandfather, brother, educator and friend. He will be missed by all who knew him.

Our sympathies go out to all of Frank's Family.

Frank Parrinnello was one of Burbank's 'Greatest Educators.'! A local guy, Frank was 'Totally Dedicated' to the students of Burbank. This 'earned' him the respect of all his students as well as their parents. Smart, engaging, and working in tandem with Mary Margaret Kljunak, they 'produced' the highest Test Scores in Jordan Middle School's history. Before and after School, Parrinnello and Kljunak could be found out in front of school, greeting students and parents, bringing new meaning to the word accountability. Frank also assisted in 'ending' the notoriously infamous 'Sink Or Swim Club.'! Frank was a 'Major Participant' in establishing BUSD as one of the State's 'finest' School Districts. 'No One Better,'!!
