SYLVESTER WILLIAM BORSCH

Peacefully surrounded by his loving family, after a courageous battle with cancer, Sylvester died on Friday, July 31, 2015 at the age of 72 years. Sylvester was born, raised, and educated in Ethelbert, Manitoba.
Left to forever cherish Syl?s memory are his loving wife, Barbara; and his children, Sandra Campbell, Roger Campbell, his wife Lea-Anna and John Kyle. Also left to remember Syl are his sisters, Margaret Borsch and Audrey Harrison; sister-in-law Marilyn McKenzie; as well as brother-in-law Michael Burrows and wife Lori. Poppy will also sadly be missed by grandsons, Nathan and Joshua. He also leaves behind extended family and nieces and nephews who will miss their Uncle Syl.
Apart from family, Syl’s life was defined by his role with Manitoba Infrastructure and Transportation. He began his career on August 18, 1969 and at the time of his passing, Syl had the longest tenure as superintendent and longest standing seniority.
Syl will be deeply missed by his colleagues and friends from highways. He will be missed by his coffee buddies at Fat Boys, McDonalds and A&W. Poker nights with friends will not be the same without him.
Syl?s faithful companion Bobo has joined him on his journey and together they will be running freely on River Road.
In compliance with Syl’s wishes, no formal Funeral Service will be held.
The family would like to thank Cancer Care, both in The Pas and in Winnipeg, for their kind and sensitive care.
Donations, if desired, may be made to The Paw Local Dog Rescue C/O Emma Lees PO Box 641, The Pas, MB, R9A 1R7.
