FOREST CITY - Tex O. Borg, age 76, of Forest City, died on Saturday, November 29, 2008, at the Mercy Medical Center in Mason City, Iowa.

Tex O. Borg was born in Forest City, Iowa, on December 7, 1931, the son of Lennea and Pearl (Lunstrom) Borg. A baptized member of the First Baptist Church, he and his brothers, Eble and Kermit, sang many trios at church while their mom accompanied them.

Tex attended country school in Ellington Township [Hancock County] and graduated from Forest City High School in 1949. He served for two years in the US Army during the Korean Conflict. Following his honorable discharge, he returned home and farmed with his brother, Eble, until he passed away.

On November 2, 1957, Tex married Iletha Kamp. To this union were born two children, Dale and Teresa Borg.

Tex worked at Winnebago Industries for fifteen years. At the present time, he was farming with his son east of Forest City. He enjoyed watching his grandchildren, working on the farm, cutting trees, and eating out with family. He loved going to tractor sales and recently spent a couple days at Heritage Park with his son, enjoying the "old technology" that he had grown up with as a boy.

He is survived by his son, Dale Borg, and his wife, Tanya, of Forest City, and his daughter, Teresa Borg, also of Forest City; and three grandchildren, Anthony Otis, Andrew Frazee, and Mellisa Borg; as well as by cousins, aunts, and his former wife, Iletha.

Tex was preceded in death by his parents and two brothers, Kermit and Eble Borg.
