Dr. Keith F. "Dr. B" Broughton, 77, Blue Springs, Mo., passed away Saturday, Jan. 7, 2006, at St. Mary's Medical Center in Blue Springs.
Dr. Broughton was born October 10, 1928, to Frank and Ethel (Hughes) Broughton in Harwood, Mo.

"Dr. B", as many referred to him, was a wonderful, loving husband, father and grandfather, as well as a caring physician. It is impossible to express how much he will be missed, but we know that he can now walk again and he is home now. To God be the glory.
