With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Maurice John Bordun on May 22nd at 90 years of age. Born on December 29, 1933 in Stony Mountain, Manitoba, Maurice was the second eldest child born to Kornell and Adrianna Bordun, originally from Bukovina, Ukraine.
Maurice started his career as a sheet metal worker, then decided to pursue his passion for electricity by working at the local mills as an electrician and finished out his career at Confederation College after being employed there for over 25 years. In his younger years, Maurice enjoyed camping, skiing, and playing drums alongside his brother in a polka band. Maurice's faith and beliefs were very important to him, and he was a member of the Lakeshore Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses.
Maurice is survived by his children, Bernice (Mike) Beg, Lorne (Sandra) Bordun, Sharon (James) Goertzen, Shelly (Jeff) Jackson, and Lorraine (Mark) Dixon; grandchildren, Christopher (Phany), Daniel (Penny), Stephen (Brittany), Candace (Imran), Victoria (Randi), Joshua and Jenna; great grandchildren, Chloe, Isabella, Emberley and Bennett; brother, George Borden; and numerous nieces and nephews.
Maurice is predeceased by his wife of 66 years, Florence Bordun; parents, Kornell and Adrianna Bordun; and sister, Elizabeth McKeown.
The family would like to thank the staff at Glacier Ridge and the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre for the compassion and exceptional care they provided for Maurice, especially Dr. Adam Exley, Dr. Ruberto, and Nurse Shaun.
There will be a private family inurnment at Riverside Cemetery at a later date.
