Jonathan Peters
Borgerding
Jonathan Peters Borgerding was born in New Albany, Indiana on February
2nd, 1929 and took his final breath on November 3rd, 2018 in Troy,
Ohio. Jonathan lived a humble life, a life full of service for others.
Jonathan, known as “Jack” began working on a farm where he was raised
running a team of horses. He was a 1st. Class Petti Officer Weather
Forecaster for the Navy, spending time in Naples Italy. Jack met his
lovely bride, Margaret Jane Ginley who went by “Peggy”, at a USO Dance.
After six weeks they were engaged, they then married within six months
and have danced through life together for over 64 years. They first
lived in Texas while Jack went to school. Jack called Square Dances
while in College. He gained his love of trains from working with the
Railroad as a Fireman and Engineer; he prided himself in his collection
of HO Scale Model Trains. He then started with the Airlines in
Washington DC and eventually settled in Troy, Ohio while he worked with
Trans World Airlines, whom he retired with. Jack along with his wife
raised his family of seven children while taking in children who were
in Foster Care. He always worked hard providing for his family, working
a full day with the Airline and then performing others jobs from Deputy
Sherriff to School Bus Driver. Jack became an Ordained Deacon in the
Catholic Church beginning his tenure at Saint Patrick’s Church in Troy
Ohio. He and Peggy moved to Nashville Tennessee as he continued with
TWA while serving as a Chaplin for the Nashville Airport and as a
Deacon at the Church of the Holy Rosary in Nashville. He then continued
his Ministry as Deacon at Saint Denis Church in Versailles Ohio.
Jack gave riveting sermons that came from his heart and when he sang,
his voice was magnificent! His love of God and his love for his family
were without parallel. Jack spent his final days surrounded by his
family in worship and song!
