We would also like to give special thanks to Oliver Simner for his dedication and loyalty to Dad. Dad worked in the heavy construction industry all his life. Upon his retirement , he started his own heavy equipment business. He had been working on one of his Caterpillars just days before his passing. Dad was a perfectionist. Do it right or don't do it at all. Dad spent his time between his home in Winnipeg and cottage in St. Malo. He was an avid sports fan and enjoyed going to his grandchildren and great-grandchildren's sporting events. He was so proud of them all. Dad, we love you and will miss you.

  • When I was a young teenager in St. Vital, your dad boarded at our house, 123 Ellesmere Ave., when he was studing his trade. Being a few years older than me, he received many phone calls from young ladies and when they asked for Jim Bordian I took the calls saying that I was him....dad didn't catch on until the young ladies said that some young teenager was intercepting their calls!! We had many laughs over the years about this. Myrl & I send our condolences to all the family members.
