Bill was an avid automotive enthusiast. Anywhere there was a car gathering you could find Bill. He was a member of the Pottstown Classics and the Little Brothers Car Club. If you needed to see something fun and interesting or had a car question you could stop by the Classic Auto Mall and find Bill buzzing around on a Stringo to show you the inventory. He would be sure to show you something new, unusual or interesting. He was a true diehard car guy.
Surviving along with his wife is his son David W. Borneman husband of Paula M.; daughter Danielle E. Borneman; grandchildren Charles D. Borneman husband of Kelsea, Jessie K. Borneman, and Samantha E. Borneman fiancée of Dustin Zellner; and 11 great grandchildren.
