Dennis Borowicz

Dennis was born February 24, 1952 in Ft. Hood, Texas, to Steve and Helen Przyborski Borowicz. He was a member of Queen of Peace Catholic Church in Sweet Home.

He was an avid canoeist, and was very involved with the Texas Water Safari. In 1974, 1975 and 1976, he placed first as part of two- and three-man teams. In 1977, he won first place in the solo classification. He continued to follow the race for many years as team captain and spectator.

Dennis was happiest when he was outdoors, at the beach, or canoeing the river with his kids and grandkids.

He was always ready and willing to help others. He was the first call when someone needed help.
