Joseph Borden died on Friday, Feb. 12, 2010,
at the Houston Hospice after a valiant battle
with cancer. During his prolonged illness, his
devoted wife, Millie, constantly was by his side.
Born to Rose and Morris Borden on March 30,
1931, in Philadelphia, Joe had a love of learning
and was always motivated to excel in education.
After graduating with a B.A. degree from
Philadelphia’s prestigious Central High School
for boys, he began his pursuit of a chemical
engineering degree at Drexel University.
His studies were interrupted when he was
called to duty to serve in the U.S. Air Force
during the Korean War. In 1952, he arrived at
Ellington Field in Houston, where he received
his officer’s commission as a navigator. He served one year in Japan as a
navigator with the Strategic Air Command, flying B-29s in heavy combat
and winning many commendations for his service.
The dashing young airman returned to Texas in 1954 to marry the
former Beverly Schwartz of Houston, the mother of his two children. He
spent the last year of military service at Bergstrom Air Force Base in
Austin. In addition to flying B-29s - newly fitted to refuel other aircraft
while airborne - Lt. Borden served as the squadron Ground Training
Officer and established a junior college at the base through the U.S. Air
Force Institute. All during this time in Austin, Joe attended The University
of Texas, earning additional engineering credits. After his honorable
discharge from the Air Force, he moved with his wife to Houston, where
he completed his education with a B.S. degree in industrial engineering at
the University of Houston.
In 1956, Joe joined the family firm, formerly named Texberry Bottling
Works. Later, as president, he grew the company from a small, four-
man operation to a major container corporation in the southwest that
employed 450 people. Now called Texberry Container Corporation, the
company manufactured plastic containers and distributed glass and metal
packaging from the main Houston office and opened branches in Dallas,
New Orleans and San Antonio. Joe developed many new types of containers
with several exclusive patents. A respected industry leader, Joe served as
president of the National Association of Container Distributors.
Joe also served his community in many capacities, most notably as
a board member for the Jewish Community Center for four years. He
also was a captain fundraiser for the construction of Congregation Beth
Yeshurun at its present location, as well as a member of Congregation
Emanu El. Joe considered it an honor to be invited to join the board of
directors of Fannin Bank.
After his retirement in 1996, Joe’s interest in education continued, as he
tutored mathematics to students enrolled in The Communities in Schools
program. He enjoyed helping all of his students advance in their studies.
Not only was he generous in dedicating his time, Joe provided calculators
to each of his students, making certain everyone had the necessary tools
to succeed. He also tutored students in obtaining their GED certificates.
Joe had many hobbies and interests. He just loved to fly! He continued
his military flying experiences, earning his private and commercial
instrument licenses and multi-engine license. It gave him great joy to fly his
twin engine Aerostar, N666BB, all across North America, for both business
and pleasure. By flying, he was able to reach many distant customers,
increasing the company business. Often, his family accompanied him on
these trips, turning the business trip into an educational and fun family
adventure.
Thoroughbred racing also was an active interest, as he joined with
friends in breeding and racing horses, primarily in Louisiana. He could
often be found studying racing forms in his spare time. For approximately
40 years, Joe was a member of the “infamous” Wednesday Night Poker
Group. Friendships that formed there endured for many years. Joe
followed all sports with enormous enthusiasm and remained a dedicated
and fervent Oilers fan throughout the team’s existence. Tennis was his
athletic passion. He played regularly at Westwood Country Club and
University Club.
In later years, after marrying his adoring wife, Mildred, they both
became interested in learning more about each of their family’s histories.
Together, they researched and developed elaborate and extraordinary
pictorial family trees. Millie and Joe were overjoyed to share their
discoveries by hosting numerous and memorable family reunions, often
reuniting and introducing family members.
Joe is survived by his best friend and cherished wife, Millie; son,
Brad Borden, and wife, Suzanne; daughter, Valerie Burman and husband,
Darryl; and grandchildren, Ashley Borden and fiance, Elias, Dean and
Miles Burman, and Morgan Holcomb. He also is survived by his sisters
in California, Dorothy Glaser and Annette Kanarek; his brother-in-law,
Ira; former wife, Beverly Borden; and numerous cousins, nieces and
nephews.
Funeral services will be held on Monday, Feb. 15, 2010, at 10 a.m. at
Levy Funerals, located at 4525 Bissonnet St. in Bellaire. Burial will be at
South Park Cemetery, located at 1310 North Main Street in Pearland. Rabbi
Roy Walter and Cantor Vadim Tunitsky will be officiating. Pallbearers are
Brad Borden, Chip Brock, Dean Burman, Darryl Burman, Miles Burman,
Robert Glaser, Marvin Stapper and Dr. Robert Zirl.
Contributions in memory of Joseph Borden maybe made to Congregation
Emanu El or the Houston Hospice.
Joe truly loved life and his family and friends. As he fondly would say,
his life was “not as shaky as a fiddler on a roof.”
