Brewster “Bruce” Borg lead a full and rich life. A passionate and follower of Christ, he was profoundly generous and deeply thoughtful to family, friends and strangers alike. He joined the Air Force as an enlisted man at the age of 18, but was soon offered a distinguished Presidential officer’s commission. He became a highly decorated Vietnam War veteran as a B52 navigator, flying more than 70 missions. He made the military his first career of 26 years, retiring at the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. During his notable service, he completed his Bachelor’s and first Master’s degree. Following his honorable discharge, he received his MBA, worked as an accountant in the local community, operated a small business, and taught at several of the local community colleges. Rotary International named him a Paul Harris Fellow. In recent years, he faithfully served as the American Legion’s local 306 post commander, in addition to the Vice Commander of District 9. The family would like make a special acknowledgement of his doctors, Kahn and Kovacev, for their extraordinary aid in the final moments of his life. He was surrounded by family at his passing.
