Edward F. Bordinger
ONEONTA—Edward F. Bordinger, 84, of Oneonta passed with the Lord from a sudden illness on Friday, July 28, 2023 with his family by his side.
He was predeceased by his parents, Bert and Esther Bordinger, and sister, Betty Ann Bordinger.
Ed is survived by his loving wife, Jean Bordinger; three sons and daughters-in-law, Edward A. (Tammy) Bordinger, Jeffrey S. (Patricia) Bordinger, and Douglas J. (Donna) Bordinger; five grandchildren, Bryan (Shelby) Bordinger, Sarah (Derek) Schoellig, Shelby (Daniel) Ferrebee, Leisa (Dan) Shoellig, and Dylan Walsh; six great-grandchildren, Brenden Bordinger-Schoellig, Brynnlei Bordinger, Landon Ferrebee, Clayton Bordinger, Esther Schoellig, and Oaklyn Schoellig; one sister, Cheryl (Lou) Blasetti; as well as many nieces and nephews.
Ed was born December 12, 1938 in Oneonta.
On August 17, 1958, he married the love of his life, Jean Harkenreader. Together they celebrated 65 wonderful years of marriage.
For 35 years, Ed worked for the New York State Department of Transportation in traffic control until his retirement in 1993.
Ed was an avid outdoorsman. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, ice fishing and trapping. If you couldn’t find him out doing one of those activities, you could find him in the woods tooling around on his “wheeler,” “buggy” or snowmobile. Ed also enjoyed cooking and sewing (he did all the mending). He was a teacher and mentor to his family and will be sadly missed.
A celebration of life service will be held on Sunday, August 27, 2023 from 1-4 p.m. at the Oneonta American Legion, 279 Chestnut Street.
