1924 ~ 2017
Emanuel Borkowsky, born May 5, 1924, passed away peacefully on January 19, 2017 at Selkirk Hospital.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Ethel, Brian and Allan and their families. We felt like one of the family when we came out to the farm- and he even put us to work. Emanuel was not impressed when we (I) had to take a ” coffee break” just to rest up. He was good-to-go! We are unable to attend the funeral but will be thinking of you all.
