Obituary for John Hans Borchardt
Borchardt, John (Hans):
John Borchardt (Hans) of Riverside Glen, Guelph Ontario passed away in his sleep on Sunday morning May 19, 2019 at Hospice Wellington in Guelph, at the age of 93. Cremation has taken place.
He was born August 28, 1925 in Bütow Germany to Paul and Frieda Borchardt. John emigrated to Canada in 1951 with his wife Margo (Margerita Spiegelhoff; d 2013), his father, and two younger sibling: Lore Bensler and Klaus Borchardt who now live in northern Ontario. His older brother Erhard died in Dorsten Germany in May 2018. Until his health declined in 2016 John had lived in Magnetawan, Ontario for over thirty years. Before that he lived in Kitchener and enjoyed his membership in the Concordia Club. In 2016, he moved to Riverside Glen retirement residence to be closer to family members.
John chose to move to Hospice Wellington in Guelph for the last five days of his life. His children Claus Borchardt (Anne), Evelyn Connell (Michael Radford), Harold Borchardt (Rhonda) and grandchildren Melinda Croft (Tim), Mat Connell (Tamryn Joubert), John Paul Borchardt (Natasha), great-granddaughter Lola Borchardt, sister Lore with son Gary, and good friend Brian Connell were all able to be with him over his last few days.
A gathering to honour his life will be held in Magnetawan on June 16, 2019, at the Friendship Club in the afternoon. To honour John the family suggests donations to Hospice Wellington, 795 Scottsdale Dr., Guelph, ON N1G 3R8 or any hospice of your choice. Their care, support and counsel are much appreciated.
