It´s been more than 20 years I met the Borkert family and I had a chance to live at their house for half a year as an exchange student from Hungary, Europe.

Jeanie and the Borkert Family, I am so sorry to hear of your father's passing. It has been a long time since I have talked to you Jeanie, but I remember all the wonderful stories you would tell us about your loving father. He certainly has left you with a legacy of loving stories. May he rest in peace. I pray you find comfort in the Lord. My deepest sympathies to you and your family.

I've known Mr. Borket since I was a kid. I was very good friends with his son Bobby. He used to take us to the State Police rodeo every year. I admired him so much for what he did.

I have so many wonderful memories with the family. He was a wonderful man. I send my sympathy to Marsha, Bobby and Jeanie.
