Sorry I could not make it today. Mr. B was the best and one of my favourites. He and Mrs. B were always they for us, helping us, cheering us on and teaching us even after we left their classes. I wish my kids had had them. He’ll be greatly missed.

My cousin Jack was in our family life's before I was born, he would go to the beach with my sister and bother, attend Christmas and other parties. We have gone to many functions over the years from weddings, funerals, birthday parties, to casinos , etc. We were a family that stayed in touch! In 2011 we managed to have a family reunion at Lucky Strike camp with pretty much all the cousins and their kids it was a wonderful experience ! Jack and I were both interested in the family tree, so we both worked on that for years . A lot of wonderful memories to remember him by, he will not be forgotten!

To Mr. Borbath's family, my sincerest condolences.
Mr. Borbath played a very pivotal role in my life. I was with him at St. James elementary school in St. Catharines for grade 6, 7 and 8 and took many classes with him. At St. James he also coached me volleyball, handball, cross-country and track and field and I would have to say that his enthusiasm, for sports, outside of teaching, was second to none! He formed a very strong relationship with myself and my father; he would always love to go and see him and get his haircut. I really enjoyed helping Mr Borbath with chores around his house with my great friends Frank, Darcy and Brett. Truly special times!!! To my great fortune, Mr. Borbath moved to Holy Cross HS on Lake Street in my grade 9 year and I took his art class where we explored so many different styles of art that it really opened my eyes and mind to truly being creative. As with many, it was easy to forge a relationship with him!
There aren't enough words to describe how Mr. Borbath added soo much to my life and the lives of so many. He is truly missed!

I was a student of Mr Borbath at St Ann school in Port Dalhousie. I was lucky to have him as a teacher for a couple years straight as he taught the 7/8 split in 1994-1996. He was one of the best teachers I ever had, if not the best teacher. He introduced various arts to the class, especially his love of movies. He had a great influence on me. Wait Until Dark is still one of my favourite movies and he showed that in class. I remember his fast walk and various track suits. His sense of humor. He was quite the conductor getting the classes reved up and organized for our schools performance of Rock the Jukebox. May he rest in peace with his wife.

I have so many fun memories of my Uncle John growing up. The room lite up when he was there. Uncle John was so generous to all of his Nieces and Nephews and this carried on with his great Nieces and Nephews. We enjoyed many Movies and endless snacks over the years. Pool parties were amazing with Uncle John joining in and encouraging the swimming and diving competitions. The Christmas gatherings won’t be the same without his trivia games.
He will be deeply missed.

I met Jack only in the last 15 years, which may be short compared to most, but in that time, he became an important part of my life through my wife Kara and her family. His presence and influence in their lives naturally extended to mine.
Jack had a gift for poetry. He often wrote verses for special occasions, and he had a remarkable way of capturing the emotion of the moment—always knowing just when to add a touch of humor to bring a smile.
He was a warm and generous host, always welcoming and kind, and he made me feel like part of the family from the very beginning.
Uncle Jack was a central figure in the Dickinson family—someone everyone looked forward to seeing at gatherings, parties, and celebrations. He was always easy to talk to, full of stories, insights, and gentle humor.
He will be deeply missed but fondly remembered.
