I had the Pleasure of working for Mr. Borne in 1991 when his company's name was Analytical Medical Enterprise (AME Nursing). If Company Owners Today could care for their workers the way Mr. Borne cared for his, NO ONE would have a complaint in the World. I was Hired as a Staffing Coordinator, with No Experience, but the Entire Baton Rouge Staff made sure you recognized and knew the importance of your role in a Dream that was Larger than Life. They made you FEEL like you had a Degree when All you had was a desire to Learn! To this day when I talk to the Younger Generation about work Ethics, I still Refer to my Opportunity to be apart of Bill Borne's Dream as One of my Greatest Experiences. Mr. Borne touched so many Lives and his LEGACY WILL LIVE ON FOREVER. God Bless the Entire Borne Family

This man lives on in th hearts and minds of many people. He was selfless and dedicated his entire life to helping and caring for others. I'm a much better person for having known him and having the privilege to work for him. I honestly don't know of a better man that I've ever had the privilege of knowing.

On this anniversary of Bill's death, I have reflected again on the impact that Bill not only made on my life, but on the lives of my family, so many friends, employees, and patients.
Bill comes to my mind many times during the course of my life, and I give thanks that I had the opportunity to work for him, and I am also thankful for his vision and his mission.

To the Borne Family,
Bill was a wonderful man and literally helped millions of people on this earth. I am so glad I had the chance to call him my friend and mentor. I learned so much from him and he made me a better man.
He founded and built one of the best companies in the world with a SPIRIT that will live forever. He was starting his next journey to help the healthcare system of the United States.
There are countless stories of Bill selflessly helping people in need all across this country. We are all better for having him in our lives - he made us better people. He made us care for each other and try to help each other everyday. He constantly was coaching, mentoring, and helping people make a difference in this world. He loved his family and was a man of honor and integrity.
He is a guardian angel watching over all of us now, I miss his laugh and talking to him everyday but I know he is watching over all of us now and will try to live the rest of my life in honor of him.
We miss you Bill!

I just learned about Bill's death when I referred a friend to Amedisys. I was shocked and saddened to learn about his death. He was an awesome clinician and visionary person. I enjoyed my time at Amedisys and hope you will have comfort in cherishing his memories and larger than life personality!

Bill was a great man and motivator. When I was a new AVP with Amedisys, he personally stopped, while on the phone with a board member, put him on hold and introduced himself, and asked about ME, along with a warm welcome.
Generous, charismatic, great human being and excellent leader.
Great memories and he will be missed.

Deeply saddened to hear this news. Bill was admired not only by me but my son Jon as well. Bill met Jon the first year I worked with Amedisys and each year I saw him he always asked how was Jon. Bill never met a stranger and valued his team. His presence will be missed.

I am still in shock over the loss and offer my deepest sympathy and condolences to you and your family. Bill made a tremendous impact in my nursing career instilling strong values, inspiring me to strive for excellence in every area.

Wendy and the entire Borne family,
It has taken me a bit to gather the fortitude to write this tribute after the shock.
I worked for Bill for about ten years and knew him for fourteen years. Never have I had the experience of witnessing such magnetism, passion and lightning in one person, such as with Bill. His faith in God, family, friends and company was un paralleled. I consider it an honor in life to have known him well.
Both Cissy and I loved and respected Bill with all our hearts and we now pray for all of you in this time of grief.
The heavens have opened wide for Bill Borne. That I know for sure.

I met Bill while at Highland Park Hospital in Covington, La. as a house supervisor. At that time he owned a staffing agency for nurses. The thing I most remember was that if the nurse called in Bill came himself and covered the shift. I was a pleasure to have known him. May god bless your family as you go through this sad time. He was a blessing to the nursing profession.

The man was a legend in his own time! I had the pleasure of working in the Amedysis organization years ago ( 2005-2007) and was always awe stricken to hear him speak. His passion was contagious, his sense of humor engaging and his concern for the patients we were entrusted with was genuine. It was my pleasure to have known him and he will sadly be missed...

When I came on board Amedisys a few years ago, all I heard was wait until you meet Bill Borne. He is so down to earth and caring to have started this huge company. Then I was told he was no longer the CEO. I never got all the details and never wanted them. He will always be that great guy who had such a vision to take care of our aged in their home. God bless you Bill Borne. May you rest in peace. Linda HilburnKennesaw, GA

When Bill first came to Vacherie, he was a ball of energy---he never changed. Our friendship began with a crawfish pond, evolved into his "a la carte" business with the Revere boys of Pierre Part--and this was sideline business. We spent many hours together,Bill n his dad "Chief", at my kitchen table, on the farm, on the pond levees---him n his Kubota tractor ----last time I saw him was for his Dad's funeral. He gave me a dvd he made of him n his dad----Bill was a great guy---they don't come any better. I am glad that I knew him.----Ronald Scioneaux, Vacherie.

Such a fine man taken way too soon. Have been with Amedisys for 10 years and he is one of the reasons I stayed so long. He created such and ethical, caring company. He was truly one of the finest people I've ever had the privilege to work for. I was in awe of him. He was such an inspiring presence at orientation years ago and each year for our Director meetings. I thought the world of this man and still can't believe he's gone. Rest in peace. Condolences and prayers for his family. He will be missed by so many.

Wendy and family, I had the privilege of working with Bill and meeting you in the early days of Amedisys (1998-2003). It was an honor that I remember fondly and was delighted to see and talk with Bill in the years since. He was always just "Bill." A regular guy who was quick and proud to present himself as a nurse as well as leader. One of the greatest memories I have of Bill was the time he spent his family during the illness of his mother. He took the time to make sure his family came first. It is very telling that he passed while trying to help others. I pray that God wraps his loving arms around y'all giving you peace while your husband/father looks down on you from his heavenly home.

To the Borne Familly : I am terribly saddened by the sudden loss of this wonderful, kind, caring, and compassionate gentleman. Bill touched countless lives during his short time on earth. Always living by the Golden Rule and setting a Christian example in All that he did. I will never forget his awe inspiring spirit and wonderful sense of humor. I am so fortunate to be part of his Amedisys family. Bill will certainly be missed, but he will never be forgotten.

I remember going to Knoxville when Amedisys took over our company and bought employees up to stay overnight to attend a meeting next day to learn about his company. Me and another coworker got to hotel that night and was sitting in the lobby and in walks Bill and he just hung out with us and talk to us for the longest time. He didn't act like he didn't want to stick around and that is when we knew this man is going to be great to work for. He took time out for 2 people he didnt even know yet, but he took out time for us to say hello and to ask how we like our job and then just small talk to laughter. I am so glad I got the chance to meet him. May God bless each and everyone of you for the loss of a good man. My prayers are with each and every one of you.

My sincerest condolences to the family. May your memories of your dad and husband comfort you at this time. I was fortunate enough to meet Bill a few times during orientation and the annual leadership meetings during the four years I was with Amedisys. His presence was larger than life and he always treated people like they were family and not just employees. He was a true visionary and many peoples' lives were enriched by him through his company. I was so sorry to hear what happened. Heaven gained a special angel today. Blessings to you all.
