Obituary of Steven Bruce Borbely
We are saddened to announce the passing of Steven Bruce Borbely on Saturday June 15th, 2024. He passed away doing what he did every day of his life, providing for his family.
Steve was preceded in death by his parents, George Joseph Borbely and Ruth Rose Borbely of Peekskill, NY. He is survived by his wife Michele (Starr) Borbely of 47 years, his children Steve Borbely, Christine Borbely and Michele Corkum, along with his brother George Borbely and his six grandchildren.
Steve was born September 2, 1953 in Peekskill, NY where he grew up and attended Peekskill High School. For most of his life Steve and his family owned, farmed and managed Borbely Farms on Frost Lane, which gave his family and countless families years of joy filled memories.
Steve worked at IBM for over 20 years. He also held jobs coaching high school golf at JFK, and working at various golf courses. In recent years, Steve held multiple jobs at West Point and FedEX.
Steve had a passion for the game of golf, it has always been in his family from an early age starting with his father and older brother. In addition to golf, Steve enjoyed food, a fine cigar, the music of Motown, Barbara Streisand and more. Steve and his wife would go on long motorcycle rides which they both thoroughly enjoyed.
No matter who you were, what your background was or where you were from, Steve could connect with you and make you smile or laugh. He had the gift of gab and a great interest to interact with everyone and anyone that crossed his path. His charming effects disarmed and were amused by many, and his friends truly loved him for it.
Steve loved his family, and was beloved by his family. There was nothing he wouldn’t do for his family, he gave them all wonderful lives.
Dad, you are and will always be our hero, we love you now and forever. Rest easy hubs, dad, padre, grandpa, papa, brother, friend.
