One of the most honorable men I have ever known and a wonderful friend. I miss his sense of humor!!

Borge was a great gentleman. I loved his quiet, dry sense of humor and was honored to have him as a friend. I imagine that he and Dorthy are having a wonderful reunion about now. Something he has longed for these past few years. If every man patterned his life after Borge's example it would be a wonderful world. He will be missed.

I am so sorry to hear of Borge's passing, but happy for the reunion that has taken place between he and Dorothy. These two fine people have a very special place in my heart. I will always remember his sense of humor and his wonderful garden. No one grew carrots like your dad! I pray that our Heavenly Father's arms may be wrapped around you for comfort at this most difficult of times. We send our love and best wishes. BTW - congratulations on the new granddaughter! Love, Renée
