We are sad to announce that Borden passed away on Friday, December 6, 2024, at the age of 84, after suffering a massive stroke. He leaves behind his loving and dedicated spouse of 40 years, Carol Masse, who was by his side following a very peaceful and beautiful goodbye.
Borden was predeceased by his father, William Jewer; his mother, Irene Jewer (Smith); his sister, Louise, and brothers, Don (May) and Murray (Eileen). He is survived by Carol and her children, Lori Bourgeois (Mike) and Andrew Masse (Elina), his two grandchildren, Devon and Alec Bourgeois, and nieces, Loranda and Linda.
