It was my pleasure to have met Phil and Hope at Five Star.
Roger and I send our sincere condolences and prayers. I am grateful to the opportunities that Phil gave to me as being one of the first woman managers on the AGA staff. I will always be grateful to him and his management style. God bless his soul and family.
To all of Phil’s family, I’m so sorry for your loss. He was kind to me during one of the loneliest parts of my life and when I was effectively a stranger to him. I’ve not forgotten that, and now that I’m in a position to pay it forward, I do, and I remember him.
All my best,
Tess
Dear Hope,
We were so very sorry to learn of Phil’s death. You were certainly one of the most devoted couples that I have ever known, so I know that this loss is devastating to you.
We extend our heartfelt condolences to you and your family and please know that our thoughts are with you.
Warmly.

I met Phillip in Brooklyn, NY where we went to the same grammar
school and High School. Our paths crossed again at Five Star.
We renewed our friendship and enjoyed remembering our youth.
Phillip always wore a smile and possessed a brilliant mind.
Condolences to Hope and his wonderful children.
I will miss him!!

Rest in peace Philip Borish,
I was Peter Borish’s freshman roommate at the University of Michigan. I met Philip in the fall of 1977. He was witty, sharp and understanding of young men.
Sorry to see Philip pass.

We were deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Phil Borish, our friend of many years. Hope and Phil were fellow travelers and we came to know them quite well during our trip to Colombia. When one thinks of successful marriages, Hope and Phil always headed our list.
We extend our deepest condolences to Hope and the Borish Clan.
May his memory serve as a blessing.
Caren and Roger Pauley
Sorry to hear about Mr Borish. Such a sweet man with a wonderful sense of humor! Condolences to Hope.
Thinking of you as you celebrate Mr. Borish’s wonderful life.
Love to the entire family, especially to my dear friend Anne.
Dear Hope,
Feeling so sad hearing of Phil’s passing. He was so special! You both were such an inspiration as a couple for 67 years. Raising five amazing children, eight grandchildren, and eight great grand children, what an accomplishment! I will always remember, fun dinners in Chicago, times on the tennis courts, great conversations and Thanksgiving in Maryland.
Thinking of you Hope with heartfelt sympathy and prayers. Phil is with you always. Remember the love!
Warm Hugs, Christine
