To the Bormes Family, my sincere condolences to all of you. Your Dad was one of the most kind, generous and warmest individuals I have ever known. He was a wonderful influence on me and many other young guys years ago in Aberdeen. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

To the Family of Dr. Bormes,

I am Mike Walsh the son of Dr. Walsh who worked with Dr. Bormes for many years. Some of my fondest memories from childhood are watching the 3 of July fireworks from the Bormes' apartment in Lake Point Towers.
Dr. and Mrs. Bormes were always very kind and generous. Thank you for the memories. May he rest in peace.

To the Family of Dr. Bormes I remember the many years that your father and I served as lectors at Holy Name Cathedral. He was very kind to come twice to our house to see my father. He also took care of my mother and me for many years as his patients.

I was a patient w/ Dr. Bormes from 1975 until he retired. What a gentle bear. I would not have made it without him. I was lucky enough to be a patient when Pat was working with him. Thanks to all family and employees that I have come in contact with through this generous insightful man.

Our deep condolences to the Sons and Daughter of Dr. Bormes. He was so proud of all of you. Words cannot describe this wonderful doctor and friend. We were his patients at St. Francis. He healed us physically AND spiritually. We adored him and will never forget him. May the Lord hold you, Doctor, in His hands until we meet you again. Heaven is now a richer place because you are there.

Dear Peter,
We were very sad to learn of the sorrow that has come to you.
It was our pleasure to meet your father surrounding your wedding weekend celebrations. He "held court" in our home, at the fireplace, and entertained for hours. I think he was proud of you, your marriage to Deirdre and simply enjoyed himself! Delightful.
It is our hope that you'll find good comfort in Deirdre, your family and many friends. Love, Sean and Jamie
