Boris Donbergs Obituary
82, passed peacefully on May 6, 2020 in Oro Valley, Arizona. He is survived by his wife of 59 years, Judith Lynn and son, Roman (Karrie). He was preceded in death (2013) by his son, Alexis Sean.
Boris was born in Riga Latvia as World War II loomed on the horizon. A refugee from his homeland, he eventually ended up in internment camps in Germany. Ultimately, he immigrated to and became a citizen of the United States of America where he graduated from East High School in Cleveland, Ohio. He then went on to graduate from Ohio State University and was an enthusiastic Buckeyes fan. Boris was a zealous reader, prolific amateur photographer and an aficionado of classical music. He traveled the world and made many sacrifices in service of the U.S. Government and his country. In loving memory, we will miss him forever. Due to present circumstances, a memorial will be announced later. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to the Community Foodbank of Southern Arizona.

We think of you with fond memories of birthdays, holidays and our children´s marriage shared together in years gone by.
Thanksgiving 2015.<br />Boris enjoyed visiting with April. As a working therapy dog she made Boris smile. If we ever visited him without bringing April along, he told me that he was mad at me. I should always bring her too!

These photos were taken on Thanksgiving, 2015. Boris loved visiting with my therapy dog, April. She always made him smile. If we ever visited without bringing her along, he would say he was mad at me. Bring her along next time.
