William H. Borneman Jr.

HI Patty:
I am so sorry to learn of your father's death, and also that he was preceed in death by your mother. I have been trying to find and communicate with you for some time. It is unfortunate that finding you was this way. I do hope you and your family are doing well. In reading your father's information, I discovered your parents and mine were married on the same day, same year.
Bob and I travel to Florida yearly, and would love to get together with you anf Jim, if...

It was my good fortune to have Bill as my immediate supervisor when I joined Lubrizol in the mid 1960s. He was an excellent mentor, a suberb marketer and a great spokesperson for Lubrizol within the oil and petroleum additive industries. More importantly he was such a good and decent man in every respect. The world needs a lot more folks like Bill Borneman.
My sincere condolences to Patricia and Diane and their families.

I was saddened to hear of Bill's passing. I worked for him at Lubrizol and he was a great manager and mentor. He was respected thru out the Lubrizol organization.

Bill and Helen were highly respected and admired by all who knew them. My time working with Bill at Lubrizol is treasured for his candor, spirit and sense of humor. His stories dwarfed the experiences of the rest of us and made us all grateful for the sacrifices he made for our country. I'm honored to have known him.

Bill was a good man who served not only his country but also his companies in a manner that was exemplar. As a new hire at Lubrizol, Bill went out of his way to make me feel at home and help me understand the best ways to address marketing issues for a successful conclusion. I enjoyed working with him and learning from him.

Diane and Patti,
I know this is a difficult time for you and your families. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Diane,

So sorry to hear of the loss of your father. I too have lost both of my parents and know there really isn't anything anyone can say to ease your pain. Just keep your memories of them close to your heart.

Please accept my deepest sympathy on the loss of your father. I went to school with Patti Borneman and remember your parents well. I had the pleasure of meeting up with them again about 10 years ago when I worked for a furniture store in Willoughby and sold them a chair. We discussed the old days and how I remember all of you including your sister Diane. Your mother used to be a home room mother with mine. Those were the good old days. I will always remember how professional and kind...

It is with sadness that I am reading about Bill's passing. I had the great pleasure and honor of being his secretary for 10 years at Lubrizol. Not only did Bill have a wonderful business sense, he was kind and compassionate. My sympathy to all of his family and friends. Marion Hanna
