William Borneman Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Catagnus Funeral Home & Cremation Center, LLC - Pottstown on Feb. 18, 2026.
William "Bill" C. Borneman, 79, of Pottstown, husband of Kathleen Sonja (Krantovis) Borneman, passed away Sunday February 15, 2026 at Lehigh Valley Hospital – Cedar Crest surround by his family.
Born in Pottstown, he was the son of the late Jacob Bickhart and Ella Mae (Giles) Borneman.
Bill proudly served in the US Army serving during the Vietnam War. He graduated from the military school of Automotive Repair, Aberdeen Md.
Bill was an avid automotive enthusiast. Anywhere there was a car gathering you could find Bill. He was a member of the Pottstown Classics and the Little Brothers Car Club. If you needed to see something fun and interesting or had a car question you could stop by the Classic Auto Mall and find Bill buzzing around on a Stringo to show you the inventory. He would be sure to show you something new, unusual or interesting. He was a true diehard car guy.
Surviving along with his wife is his son David W. Borneman husband of Paula M.; daughter Danielle E. Borneman; grandchildren Charles D. Borneman husband of Kelsea, Jessie K. Borneman, and Samantha E. Borneman fiancée of Dustin Zellner; and 11 great grandchildren.

A memorial service will be held Monday February 23, 2026 at 11:00 AM at Catagnus Funeral Home & Cremation Center, LLC., 711 N. Franklin St., Pottstown, PA 19464. Interment will follow at Limerick Burial Grounds, Limerick. Visitation will be held Monday from 9:30-10:45 AM at the funeral home.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Bill's memory to American Legion Post 0471, 100 Walker Dr., Boyertown, PA 19512.

My name is Lenny Cox and I have been a friend of Bill for many years. I remember so well having events for the Lil Brothers Car Club in which Bill always stepped up to be a big part of planning and setting up for the event. But even more than that he was just a good guy who always had the time to help you with a problem. Can't wait for the day when I will see him again to find out what Heavenly rod he is rebuilding. Prayers for the family.
