Eugene Allen Borak, Jr.

Still missing you but you are with Jesus and He is taking good care of you.

I worked with Eugene during my time at GE Oil and Gas. He’s a very good person and always willing to help. He is a big loss to his family and colleagues. My sincere condolences.

Possum was always a pleasure to speak to. Every conversation was either humurous or educational. I will always remember him and his lessons. He will be greatly missed. May his soul rest in peace.

Ode to a Possum
Possum old pal I cannot believe you’ve gone
I got the word today and yet cannot believe it’s true
Thanks for all the help you provided throughout all the years
You were the brains of our outfit
Everyone relied on you
Like that time when the tubing hanger was too big for the bowl
It seems not right
You were way too young
Carry on my friend
You are missed by many

I was very saddened to get the news about Possum. I was fortunate to have had a lot of wonderful years at Vetco Gray, and it was because of people like Gene that made the work personal. He was one of those guys that I always enjoyed being around, laughing with, and working with. He was straight-up, plainspoken and I knew I could take his advice to the bank. Sandy, my sympathies to you and the extended family as I know this will be a big loss....but I am certain the man is in Heaven and is...

God Bless My friend, Will miss your smiling face.talking with you.As you headed to the mailbox.
Also your wonderful Holiday Decorations.
I guess Father needed one more angle..
To to Shine in Heaven..
God Bless
Sandy.. and Family..
Our Thoughts and prays are with you all.

James and Sheila Stanley..

Neighbor and Friend.
If you had a moment to speak with Gene..
Your were a friend..
May you Journey with our Father in
Heaven...

May Possum rest in peace and may God Bless him now as God blessed him in his daliy life.

Eugene,

Though our interactions were limited, you were our go to person for any design reviews.
Our deepest condolences to Eugene's family & friends. Rest in peace.

Possum and I met in 1979 at Gray Tool Company. He was the lead drafting checker.
Always about the details.
He grew to be skilled and knowledgeable in our craft. Someone you could depend on for thoughtful consideration before sharing his opinion on a question. A man with a quality ethic in his work and in life.
Always the sensible solution.
Possum was a lover of life and very enjoyable to talk to and be around.
Always the quick wit.

I will miss him greatly.
