Warren Richard Borgatti

Warren Richard "Wally" Borgatti, age 67, died unexpectedly at his home in Plymouth on April 2, 2017. Born in Plymouth, MA on January 11, 1950, he was a son of the late Warren C. and Rose Marie (Tartarini) Borgatti. He was educated in Plymouth, a graduate of Plymouth Carver High School, Class of 1968 and went on to further his education by attending Bentley College. He had worked for the Registry of Motor Vehicles as a Drivers License Examiner. He was a lifelong Plymouth resident and a member of the Cold Spring Club and Unity Club. Over the course of his lifetime he played a variety of roles; Father, son, brother, uncle, dear friend to so many, and a consummate Jokester. He played two other very, very important roles as well, that of coach and mentor to countless children's lives for decades in the Town of Plymouth. What he gave to people on and off the field was priceless. Coaches are born not made, and "Wally" was born to coach, and born to care. He saw things in people that they didn't see in themselves. You always heard "Wally" before you saw him, he had a commanding presence for sure, and boy oh boy could he tell a joke or two. He was a kind, good hearted, generous, hardworking man. He loved coaching, sports, laughing, and most of all he loved and cherished his family with all his heart. He will be sorely missed by all the lives he touched. Warren was the longtime companion of Doris Hakkila and loving father of Andrea Lynn Irwin and her husband William and Michelle Lea Bartlett and her husband Benjamin all of Plymouth. He is also survived by Timothy Hakkila and Jeffrey Hakkila both of Plymouth, Michele Boyd of VA and Melissa Lowe of KY. He was pre-deceased by Robert Hakkila and Scott Hakkila both of Plymouth. He was the cherished brother of Wayne Borgatti and Karen Cabral and her husband Dan all of Plymouth. He leaves 15 grandchildren and 5 great-grandchildren. He also leaves several nieces and nephews.
