Sorry to hear of Borden passing on. Borden and I have a lot of memories from Skala School days. A few involving a strap along with some laughable times. - Posted by: Lawrence Shewchuk (Skala School fellow student) on: Nov 07, 2013

Laurie, Jamie and I and I were so sad to hear of Uncle Borden's passing. He was definitely one of our favorite Uncles and we all have many wonderful memories. He always had a big smile and a warm hug and as kids we looked forward to all the Old Dutch chips he would bring us when he visited. He will be missed. Aunty Stella, Robert, Ryan and Colleen, you're all in our thoughts and prayers. - Posted by: Shelly Slobodzian (great niece) on: Oct 22, 2013
