Michael Borysewicz Obituary

Michael Borysewicz, 73, passed away peacefully on August 24, 2024, with his wife by his side. Mike lived in Norfolk most of his life and was proud of the many lifelong relationships he built throughout his careers of teaching, coaching, and sales. He leaves to cherish his memory his family, Suzanne Puryear, Kevin and Kelly Larkin, and grandchildren, Ashby and Seth Larkin, whom he loved beyond words. He is also survived by his brothers, William Borysewicz (Terry) of Groton, CT and Mark Borysewicz (Liz) of Mechanicsville, VA, cousins Debby (Dick) Zanglin of Vermilion, OH and John (Sue) Diekman of Atherton, CA, and numerous nephews and nieces who brought him great delight. Mike's family expresses appreciation to the many medical professionals who cared for Mike with skill and caring. We also are deeply grateful to the staff of the Hoy Center, the Stone Rehab Center, and the Hospice Team from Westminster- Canterbury who cared and supported Mike and his family with compassion and grace. Mike was devoted to his family, loyal to his friends, and eternally optimistic that his golf game would improve. He'll be dearly missed. Online condolences may be offered at www.altmeyerfh.com.

Boy, did I hate running cross country; but I loved being on Mr. B´s team. He had a larger influence on me as a coach and teacher than he ever knew. Wish I had let him know that.

30 years after NCHS, I finally discovered the joy in running, and would recall Mike´s training as I completed my first marathon.

Pictured here is his Fall `78 squad.

Mike and I were classmates at Norfolk Catholic High School. We, along with other friends shared some good times together. Lost touch and only saw him a few times over the years. Those memories of our younger days where happy ones.

I have known Mike for many years. He was in the Tidewater Striders running club. He also was a customer at my garage. I will miss him.

He was my government teacher and we had many spirited conversations and debates. He was a great man who challenged and helped shape his students to be better individuals. God bless him and his family

Mr. B was my Cross Country & Track Coach, teacher & homeroom advisor. He was a great guy so supportive of all his students and athletes. I was not a fast runner like my brothers but he cheered me on and encouraged me as if I was. I would see him at strider events and he was always supportive to the runners. He came to my parents funerals and I saw him at another teammate´s parent´s funeral, he was that kind of a man, good, kind. Mr. B. you made a difference in so many lives in your quiet, generous manner. God bless you & your loved ones. Enjoy your time in Heaven, you have finished your race, you have kept the Faith.

Mr. B was my homeroom teacher and track coach at Norfolk Catholic. I just adored him, we all did. He was such a great guy, I'm sorry I lost touch with him. God bless his family in this time of sorrow.
