Dale E Borchers

Dale E Borchers was a natural leader whose winning presence allowed him to take control of various situations with ease. Equipped with a clear and calculating focus, he possessed a tough-minded, “take charge” attitude. He had the ability to make even routine situations seem exciting, and he was at ease with the role of playing problem solver. Dale always sought out the scene of where the action was. Sociable, analytical and pleasant, Dale was an individual who enjoyed life’s challenges.

His parents were Henry J. And Helene Borchers. Always able to express himself well, Dale possessed strong interpersonal skills. He was optimistic in his outlook on life and was able at all times to be open and direct in his communication. Armed with a great wit, Dale was raised to be accepting of others and to implement a strong personal work ethic.

Dale was the kind of person who could win others over easily. A concrete communicator, he relied on his senses to increase his involvement and awareness of others. He was always able to provide amusing repartee to his friends and acquaintances, offering a seemingly endless supply of quips, anecdotes, jokes and stories. If Dale had a theme song written about him, it might well have been “Don’t Worry, Be Happy.” He enjoyed his life and the experience of living it. This is how everyone will remember Dale E Borchers.
