No amount of words could ever express the sorrow I have for the Boraski family, nor can mere words diminish the great sense of loss in which you all must feel. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. The world is a lesser place with his absence.

I´m so heartbroken. "Bummy" holds a large place in my heart from our childhood, especially summers camping at Lake Erie. He was my "big brother". May you find peace with your parents and brother. Love always, cousin Kathy

Dear Carol and family,
We are saddened at the loss of our Dear Friend Chet. We have such wonderful memories of all our travels together. There was not gathering that he did not keep us all laughing. but, most of all we will always remember him as being a loving friend, husband father and grandpa. There was never a kid that Chet did not love and tease. We will forever be grateful for all of this.
with Much Love,
Dar, Woody and RJ
