John Neil Borgert

I’ve known John since the early 1980’s and being involved with Rotary. His interest in hosting exchange students was infectious. We hosted several students because of him. Many friends come and go. John was a true friend. Steadfast always. Dependable. Someone you could always count on. Our friendship continued when we moved to Florida. He and Mary Lou were some of the very few friends who visited us.. I always looked forward to his early Sunday morning calls. Talking history and politics. John, you will be missed but I know you’re in a good place. Sending our love to your family. ❤️

Mary Lou and family I send my condolences to you all. Somehow hearing that a past alumni from St. Frances Cabrini has "passed on" brings back many good memories of our times with the wonderful school and many enjoyable classmates that I had. Mary Lou, you and John and I were actually among the first 5th graders at St. Frances Cabrini and we had such good teachers and friends and activities while we attended elementary school there. John was the tallest boy in class and he was so handsome. I thought to myself, you scored well when you married John! I am sure he felt the same way when he married you. He came from a good family and he was so nice to everyone. Although I did not see John but a couple of times since grade school (a couple of times at the B & I several years back), I called him at the real estate office when I saw his photo. He said "stop by sometime I'd be happy to see you!" Well, I never did as I was not in Shelton much and when I was there teaching at the college, I would drive by and not see a car there on those Saturdays. Time passes by but I remember many good things about John and you and how we grew up in a time that was simple and wonderful. May our Lord bless you always and give you peace knowing that John was a on this earth and made a positive memory for so many.

John was very helpful and understanding in selling our property on Hammersley on the water, especially when he took to the real estate office a travel trailer that I would not have been able to sell unless it had the real estate office exposure.

John was an amazing man. A virtual leader of the pack. I can't ever remember him without a smile on his face. He cared very much for all of his family and did his very best to get me to come to all of the functions. I will miss our conversations and his very quick wit. Rest in peace. Cousin Larry

Don and Terri Zugner want to express their sincere condolences to Mary Lou, Tina, Christine and Earl. John was a good friend of Don's and they worked many years together at the B&I and later at The Country Store. John also worked with us in buying our last 3 homes. We are saddened by his sudden passing and our thoughts and prayers are with all the family.
