Eugene or "Jerry" as he was called was one of three sons and seven daughters born to Alexander Borowski and Amelia Jakubowski. The family had a farm in Derry, New Hampshire where they raised their family. Prior to entering the service, he was a Golden Glove champion who had not lost a fight. According to his brother, Walter, Jerry died in the yard of a church. This location was but a mile or so from where Walter, now one of four remaining members of Fox Company 2nd Army Rangers was fighting. Their other brother, Frank E., also served in the war as a mess cook and survived the war. At the time of his death Jerry was survived by a wife and daughter. |
