He was under the loving care of his family and the staff at Havasu Regional Medical Center in Lake Havasu City. Hank was born June 26, 1946 in Torrance, Calif. to the late Carl and Wilma Borgeson. He is survived by his wife Mary of 30 years, son Jeff and grandson Logan, son Erik and his wife Kathy, their two children Emily and Ally, sister Andrea and her three children Willie, John and Tammy and his late brother Gary’s three children. Hank graduated from West High School in Torrance, Calif. in 1964. He served honorably during the Vietnam War as a corporal in the U.S. Army’s 1st Cavalry Division, 40th Signal Battalion. He worked for 16 years in the Los Angeles area as a semi-truck driver for the Teamsters Union. In his retirement years, Hank enjoyed working a handyman, woodworking, cooking and landscape painting. He loved pets, which included his cat Patches and his dogs Aspen and Ginger. He enjoyed classic cars and boating on the Colorado River and Lake Havasu. Hank was a football fan and a lifelong listener of Vin Scully’s announcements of the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball games. He was proud of his Swedish heritage and was passionate about discussing history and politics. He was always willing to help out his friends and family with an extra pair of hands. Hank was a member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 9401 in Havasu. He will be buried with military funeral honors in California. A memorial service will be in early 2017 in the Los Angeles, Calif. area. Services were placed in the care of Lietz-Fraze Funeral Home.
