Richard Bordwell

Janet and family, I'm saddened to hear of Rich's passing. I have fond memories of working with him at the law firm. I remember joking about loosing my place as the youngest member of the staff when he came. Those years with Bob Brinton and Rich are some of my fondest of my working career. They believed in me and pushed me to go far. They were respectful and yet fun... a great combination for the work place. He is missed.

Janet, Daughter's and Families. You are in my prayers at this unimaginable time. His insight into community and the priority of caring for his family are character traits few people display. May your fond memories be your strength that walk with you in the upcoming days. Matthew 5:4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.

Richard was my dad's lawyer for years, but I only met him recently. He was sharp as a tack until the end, and I enjoyed his sense of humor. God bless.

Janet and family, No words can really express our deepest sympathy for your loss. Rich (Buzzy) was one-of-a-kind and we were blessed to have known him. The stories and memories are endless and we will always cherish his and Jan’s friendship. The one thing I have always admired about Rich was his deep love for Jan. May your memories carry you through the difficult times ahead, and always know he is with you in the love you share. Eternal rest grant unto him O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon him. Love you!

Becky and I love Rich. Unbelievably gracious, helpful and calming whenever we needed it. It’s hard to imagine a Clarion without Rich in it. Our deepest and heartfelt condolences to Jan and the family. Tim and Becky Chipman

Our sympathies to Jan and her family. Rich will be held with great respect in our memories from the first time of meeting them in church. We admired their passion and love for their kids in education, sports and family life. God will surely welcome Rich home with open arms. Our prayers of strength and comfort for his loved ones.

First of all, my sympathy to the family. I was a high school class mate and with Rich was one of a three who went on to law school and practiced law for a living. During high school, Rich lost him Mother in a traffic crash. And I would propose that it affected him the rest of his life. I actually felt sorry for him even, though he was popular in high school and successful thereafter. I hope and pray that God reunites you with your Mother for a long awaited reunion. And bring peace and comfort to family and friends. Amen

I'm so sorry to hear of Rich's passing this morning. I've known him professionally for 25+ years and he was simply the best at what he did. He will be greatly missed and cannot be replaced. He spoke often of family, so although I don't I know each of you personally, I know how important each of you were to Rich. I pray for your family as you grieve. I pray you find peace and comfort in each other during this difficult time.

Rich or as we knew him in high school as “Buzzy” was “One of a Kind” Quite a Prankster and smart as a whip… RIP my Friend… God Bless…

So sorry for your loss. Our family condolences to his family. I have a lot of memories of babysitting for your family since I was in middle school. Also Mr. Bordwell continuing to help my mom with her taxes, even when she moved away. Even helping me when I had moved away from Clarion.

Rich helped our family thru many hurdles from divorce to land deals to keeping our taxes in order. Not many sharper and was always fun to work with. I considered him a friend to our family. RIP
