RIP Terry. Extremely sorry for this late farewell note. I just learned of your passing yesterday as I surfed the net for information about your whereabouts after graduation.
We were residents in Psychiatry at KUMC, and all three of us started at the same time at the VAMC,KC, MO. Now you joined our beloved friend Mary in Heaven. I still have pictures of our resident meetings, and parties. I missed Mary, now I'll miss you. My sincere condolences to Mrs Borel and family. -Hai
Most of my recollections of my cousin are from
childhood and adolescence, during week-long
stays with my Uncle Pete and Aunt Joyce in
Kansas City. What a special time it would be
for me and my brother to join forces with
Roger, Paul and Terry, and eventually Becky Sue
and Timothy! Bold and adventurous describes
this group, and Terry was no exception. I will
miss his bright smile and his eagerness to join
in on the fun. Years later that enthusiasm (and
streak of mischief) was still evident as he
shot baskets against the clock at the Sprint
Center and racked up a humanly-impossible
record. Let's all remember the good about good-
old Terry!
April, I send this as a message of love and
comforting to you and your family during your
loss of not just your husband, but an AWESOME
man, which showed in his care of those he served
and worked with at Woodridge, of which 1 was me.
I pray God's strength, and blessings and pray you
trust him love and comfort now and going forward.
Love,
Anthony Jones

As an attorney in Johnson City, I was appointed
to judicial commitment hearings by the court,
and Dr. Borel was always willing to discuss my
clients situations in order for me to be better
prepared for the hearings.
Based upon our mutual obligations for the
commitment hearings, I became to know Dr. Borel
quite well, as a kind understanding physician.
And, Dr. Borel was always professional when he
testified in court on the cases in which he was
involved.
I am sure his passing will be filed with sorrow
by many in the community.
My condolences to his famuiy.

My deepest and sincere condolences to the Borel family. Dr.
Borel was my Psychiatry preceptor. He was kind, patient, and
compassionate to his patients. I am grateful for the opportunity
to have met and learned from him. I will always remember the
empathy you had for your patients and your love for Reeses
peanut butter cups. Thank you Dr. Borel. May you now be at
peace.
