Paul Borges Obituary
Born in Fall River, MA, Paul was a resident of Bristol for the majority of his life; he was the son of the late Manuel and Virginia (August) Borges.
Paul was a Bristol Police Officer for 23 years before retiring as a Captain in 1994. After his retirement he started a second career, as a self-employed driver for Borges Trucking, retiring in 2012.
Paul had a love for cars that started at an early age, from racing in his teen years to restoring them with his son to cruising around in his antiques. Paul had witty humor and a love for sharing stories from his past. Most importantly, Paul enjoyed the time he spent with his family and companion, Lois.
Paul is survived by his two sons, Edward Borges and his wife, Kristen, of Swansea, and Paul Borges and his wife, Rachael, of Warren; his grandchildren, Matthew Borges and his wife, Rachel, of Bourne, Hannah Borges of Swansea, and Luke Borges of Warren; his brother, David Borges and his wife, Elaine, of Warren; and his companion Lois Ferreira of Bristol.
Arrangements are with Smith Funeral & Memorial Services, 8 Schoolhouse Rd. Warren, RI.

With much sadness I found out today that Paul had passed away in June. My daughter and I went to a car show in East Providence. Thinking of him and Marie she checked it out. My husband Charlie Pickles went to Voc with your dad and we were good friends visiting your mom and dad pretty much until the families started. They liked to stay near Bristol. We went to see him race in Seekonk and remember Shultz. We also met your dad after his retirement from the police and knew of his truck. We were unaware of your moms passing. Charlie passed 4/4/22 and they have reunited in heaven. He had had a lot of health issues. Sending much love to the family. Paula Pickles
