• Notes

  Earl Harry Borman was born on September 25th. 1920 in Waterloo, Ontario and peacefully passed away on November 23rd, 2016 in the Vernon Jubilee Hospital at the age of 96 years. Earl will be lovingly remembered by his daughter, Nina (Randy) Kaufman and their son, Tyler, two sons, Mark (Wanda) Borman and their son, Kyle; and Gary Borman; two additional grandchildren, four great-grandchildren, numerous. nieces, nephews and extended family members. He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Dora in 2001 and all of his siblings. Earl was a real "trooper" and even after having seen the ravages and cruelty of war first hand, he remained strong and steadfast in his love of people, Canada and the freedoms that we all enjoy. It's an honour that few Canadians earn, but Earl was presented with a medal in 2014 commemorating 70 years of continuous membership in the Royal Canadian Legion. He joined the Royal Canadian Legion in 1944 at the urging of the man, a Boer War veteran, who would later become his father-in-law. Even now after almost 73 years, Earl already had already applied for his 2017 membership and was proud right to the very end of his life for what the Legion stands for and thankful for having been able to serve his Country during WW. II from 1940-1945, with the Royal Canadian Regiment, Royal Canadian Army. In his memorabilia of the time he spent overseas, Earl still had the piece of shrapnel that hit him in the back and thus resulted in his honourable discharge early in 1945. He returned home to Ontario and later, in September of 1945, married his childhood sweetheart. After the war Earl joined Canada Post and became a letter carrier, a job he greatly enjoyed for 35 years both in Waterloo, Ontario and later in Vernon. Earl was a true gentleman in every sense of the word and he will be greatly missed and dearly loved by all whose lives he touched. Cremation preceded a Celebration Of Earl's Life which will take place at the Eagles Hall, 5101-25th Avenue, on Saturday, December 17th, 2016 at 2:00 P.M. As an expression of sympathy, those who wish to do so may send donations in memory of Earl to their favourite local Food Bank. "That's a corker!" Cremation arrangements have been made with BETHEL FUNERAL CHAPEL LTD., 5605-27th Street, Vernon, B.C. VIT8Z5.250-542-1187 Vernon Morning Star 23 Nov 2016
