James C. Borgman

Sorry to hear that BIG has passed. He will always be in our hearts,loved and missed by all who's lives he touched. Such a gentle giant !!!

When Jim left, he took a little of all of us with him...but that's OK....He left a little of Jim in me. Always thinking about him....my new screen saver

When” Big Jim” was feeling good….I was Happy!
When he was feeling bad …..I was sad…..My last days with Jim…
He was Happy…and This is how I want to remember this Man,!!!

“Big” has left us now…with him he has taken a piece of all of us…
…an emptiness that we will have to deal with…But that’s OK….he left
a piece of him in each of us that will carry on his Legacy…That is what he wanted.

I remember Jim yelling out, "where's Charly" when he came hom and found something broke.Donna and I did so many things with Jim & Sandy it's impossibe to list them all. We thank you for...

Here’s to Jim,
He’s kept us fed.
Each Year at Deer camp
He brings his spread.

Bacon and Eggs,
Biscuits and Gravy,
Prime Rib Rare,
Pork Chops are Savory.

60 pounds of Tators,
10 gallons of Whiskey.
20 Cases of Beer,
Sounds pretty risky.

We’re here for the Hunt,
It’s a religion in itself.
To find BIG OSCAR,
A Deer that is stealth.

When night time falls
And the Boys come home,
We’re tired and...

Jim has left behind so many wonderful memories for everyone. He will be missed more then words can say.
