I miss Tom very much. I always enjoyed the 320-mile drive to his residence in Michigan. This was mainly because I knew my friend Benjamin (Tom) Borgman would be there to have breakfast coffee with every morning, while I was there. We always had plenty to talk about with subjects that seemed to be unlimited. We usually took a boat ride around Gun Lake and that was always the greatest. Tom always had a calm manor and I respected that a lot. I miss him and our conversations. He was the best.

I will greatly miss my cousin Tom. He was incredibly smart, plus resourceful and I looked up to him with the deepest felt respect. I've lost a good friend.
