William "Bub" "Gene" Borror Jr., 65 of Perryville, Md., formerly of Kennett Square, died suddenly Wednesday, May 27, at the Harford Memorial Hospital in Havre De Grace, Md. He was the husband of JoAnn Palmatary Borror with whom he shared 45 years of marriage.
Born in Darby, he was the son of the late William E. and the late Mildred G. (McCombie) Borror Sr. He was pre-deceased by his brother Glenn L Borror. He served our country in the Army as a chauffeur at the Pentagon and was stationed at Fort Myer, Va. during the Vietnam War. He was a parts manager in the automotive business for most of his life retiring in 2012.
Bub was an avid fan of motor sports, specifically dirt track modified racing and NASCAR. Bub enjoyed many hobbies including croquet, snowmobiling, remote control cars and planes, boating (and tubing). Many remember him coaching little league even long after his sons were through, and then his grandson as well. He loved old Rock ‘n’ Roll and Country music and spending time with his dog Cocoa.
Bub's true gift was being a great father. He was very proud of his three kids. His boys followed in his foot steps; Tim in the music industry and Kyle in the automotive industry. Beyond his family, he was equally kind to everyone, always offering a helping hand. The last few years he enjoyed growing his hair in order to donate and support the Locks of Love charity.
He will be missed by all who knew and loved him including his sons, Timothy and his wife Andrea of Palmyra, N.J. and Kyle and his wife Heather of Peach Bottom; his daughter Erin Miller and her husband Vidal of Cochranville, and his four grandchildren, Sebastian, Joey, Tamara and Tyra.
