Robert Lee Borsdorf Jr., known to all as “Bob,” passed away peacefully on July 16, 2024, with family by his side.

Bob was born in Chicago, Illinois, on October 28, 1941, to Robert L. Borsdorf Sr. and Gertrude E. Borsdorf.

Bob was raised in Carmichael, CA, graduating from El Camino High School, Class of 1960, and attended California State University, Sacramento. In 1972, Bob became a resident of Stockton, CA, where he resided for 52 years.

On December 22, 1979, Bob married his beloved wife, Genevieve “Jenny.” Together, they raised a blended family of five children: his son Robert L.

Bob was dedicated to work throughout his life, retiring only in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic. He pursued a building and facilities management career and owned his own custodial business, taking great pride in his profession and work relationships.

Outside of work, Bob and Jenny enjoyed traveling and volunteering together, and attending San Francisco Giants games and rock concerts. His favorite pastimes also included collecting model trains, visiting train stations, watching historical documentaries, listening to music, and decorating for his family at Christmas.
