Mr. Bordelon was an avid reader of westerns at the Orange Public Library and will be missed by Staff. Please accept our sympathy.

Dorothy, I worked with you in receiving at Montgomery Ward. I have thought about you often. That seems like a century ago. When I read the obituary, I remembered you always talking so fondly about Percy. I'm so sorry for your loss. I live in Silsbee and I will try to get in touch with you. You are in my prayers.

Dear Mike and family, I am truly sorry to hear of your father's passing. I have no doubt you and your siblings were a wonderful source of pride to him throughout his lifetime. I hope as time goes on your memories of all the years he spent with you will be of comfort and solace. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers. Sincerely, Eileen Hickey Adkins
