Lewis Alan Borgman Jr., 67, born on Feb. 21, 1950, of Eastman, WI died in his home on Wed., Nov. 1, 2017 due to myelodysplastic syndrome, a rare disease which went unclassified in him for many years.

In 1968, after graduation from Holland High School, MI, he served four years in the US Navy, where he was a torpedo specialist. He earned his black belt in Tae Kwon Do and competed in many triathlons, such as the Ironman Triathlon in Austin, MN in 1982 and was champion of the Bicycle Time Trail in Illinois in 1990, where he broke every previous record by almost 10 minutes. He had an amazing sense of humor and was loved by all who had the honor to meet him.
