April 24, 1951 — March 3, 2019
Roy Borgwordt, 67 years old went to heaven on March 3, 2019 after a sudden and brief challenge with brain cancer.

Then, Roy worked for 22 years at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee from which he retired. After retirement Roy moved to Missouri and worked for Lincoln University.

Roy really enjoyed watching his children in sports activities and in family events. As a young man Ray hunted regularly with his father and grandfather at the family cabin. Roy was very active with his father Russell Borgwordt in the Waukesha Old Car Club and participated showing his own and his father’s cars with his family. Roy was especially proud to have been recognized by the American Red Cross for donating 32 units of platelets and 2 units of whole blood. Giving back and helping others was very important to him; he loved driving around after snow storms to help people out of a ditch. Roy was very kind and always saw the positive side of every situation.
