Ray Borrill

Received Tuesday, September 19, 2006

Hello Mike,

My name is Dave Borrill and I am Ray Borrill's son. I believe we met at the VCF in California a couple of years ago when my Dad was attending that show and auctioned off one of his Apple computers.

It's my sad duty to report that my Dad passed away this morning after a long, tough battle with cancer. My sister Jeanne and I were with him until the end and he died with a dignity that I never would have imagined possible for a man in his condition. Ironically I was making small talk and speaking to him about a computer problem I was having at work literally moments before he passed away. I look at this as a fitting conversation for me to be having with my Dad moments before his death. Somehow I know that the answer I'm seeking will suddenly come to me in the middle of the night or while driving in my car. I'm sure he will be 'up there' watching over us and all his true friends in the years to come, so if you have any questions or ideas please don't hesitate to offer them up. I know he'll be there for us all.

If you could you please distribute the news of his passing to all his associates that you were in contact with my family and I would sincerely appreciate it.

Regards,

Dave
