GIST FURMAN "COSTA" Age 73, passed away Tuesday, March 3, 2015, at St. Luke's Medical Center, Milwaukee, WI. He was born in Union, SC, February 4, 1943, son of the late Leroy and Helen B. (Sims) Gist. Furman spent his formative years living the country life in Union, South Carolina, returning to Aliquippa, PA the summer after his sophomore year. Soon after, he met the love of his life. Francena J. Stewart and Furman began dating during Furman's junior year at Aliquippa High School. Furman graduated from Aliquippa High School in the "Class of 1961". On March 23, 1963, he was united in marriage to Francena. Furthering his education he graduated from Gateway Technical College and enlisted in the United States Army from 1963 until 1969. While in the service, he earned many accolades, including graduating first in his class during advanced individual training. Following his service to his country, he joined Phillips Medical Systems and worked as a service technician and installed and repaired diagnostic medical imaging equipment. Within four years, he was promoted to Regional Service Manager. While he enjoyed many career successes at Phillips Medical Systems, he continued to pursue his education and earned degrees from the University of Cincinnati and Wilmington College. He retired from Phillips Medical Systems, December 31, 2010, after 42 years of service. Furman was a member and trustee at the Mt. Zion Missionary Baptist Church, a position he cherished from 1975 through his passing. He brought joy to his life through helping those in need. From repairs around the house or yard, Furman was always eager to support his friends. Furman loved electronics, especially the challenge of restoring a device to a functional state. Furman also loved to cook, and frequently used that love to gather his family and friends together for what he valued most of all - time with family and loved ones.

BORDOGNA JOHN OF LINCOLN, NEBR...
BORDOGNA JOHN Of Lincoln, Nebraska, age 83, on Wednesday, March 4, 2015, with his loving wife, Sue, by his side. John was born September 24, 1931, in Turtle Creek, a son of Gaetano and Mary Grace (DePowell) Bordogna. John was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in 2006 and was constantly on chemotherapy. He continued to work hard and enjoy a good life while fighting the good fight against this incurable disease. For this reason, John's family asks that you Google, or otherwise check out multiple myeloma, to bring awareness to this rather rare form of cancer. John began caddying at age ten at Edgewood Country Club and did not stop working until the day he died. He graduated as a top athlete from Turtle Creek High School in 1950. He accepted a football scholarship offer to the University of Nebraska. At Nebraska, he was a three-year starting quarterback, setting records for pass attempts and total offense that stood until the 1970s. John was inducted into the Nebraska Football Hall of Fame in 1988. John was the owner of John Bordogna, Inc., a commercial and industrial painting business in its 60th year of operation. In 2012, Bordogna, Inc. painters completed the Devaney Center and the East Memorial Stadium addition at the University. John was generous and kind, a fact he held close to his vest. Those who knew him best are well aware of his work ethic, humility and joy he received in helping others. In his 60 years of contracting, there are not too many blocks and buildings in Lincoln, NE that haven't been touched by Bordogna, Inc. painting contractors. John is survived by his beloved wife, Sue Geis Bordogna; his loving daughter, Lisa Jensen; his precious grandsons, Daniel and John Anthony Jensen. He is also survived by his nieces and nephews, Judy and Harry Glunt, David and Hanna D'Ottavio, Jeff and Mara Bordogna, Bill and Rose Bordogna, Bobbi Gattrell, Daiane and Alan Utt, Grace and George Thachick, and Michael and Judy Drop; and his cousin, Sr. Nancy Carrocia, O.P. In addition to his parents, John was preceded in death by his brothers, Angelo and William Bordogna; and his sisters, Louise Carrano, Mary Drop and Joy D'Ottavio. Friends welcome Sunday from 2-4 and 6-8 p.m. at PATRICK T. LANIGAN FUNERAL HOME, TURTLE CREEK / MONROEVILLE CHAPEL, 1111 Monroeville Ave. at James St., Turtle Creek, 412-823-9350, where a Blessing Service will be held on Monday at 10 a.m. John will be laid to rest in Good Shepherd Cemetery.
