Bork, 78. of Sumpter, OR, died August 20, 2015 at his residence surrounded by his family. A memorial service was held for Neal on Augusts 24, 2015 at the McE- wen Bible Fellowship in Sumpter, OR. Pastor Dan Martin ofﬁ ciated. Neal was born Febru- ary 2, 1937 at Day Ridge, North of Enterprise, to Ira H. Bork and Lora Mae Moyes Bork. Neal went through the 8th grade and always said he graduated from the college of hard knocks. Neal joined the National Guard and served his coun- try for ten years, retiring at the rank of PFC-1. Neal married Georgene Wirth in 1961. Georgene and Neal had two boys, Mike and Mark. Though Georgene and Neal did not stay together, they were always connected through their children. Neal later married Marlene Hutton on June 8, 1973. Marlene had a son, Everett and Neal adopted and raised Everett as his own. Marlene and Neal had 42 wonderful years together. Neal was a mechanic and contractor and worked for Ford Garage and Chet Smith Motors until he decided to step out on his own. He worked as a mechanic for 46 years and a contractor for 14 years, retiring in 2001. Neal was a very loving husband and though he was not as gentle with his sons as he was with his wife, he was a very loving father. Neal and Marlene didn’t have daughters of their own but Neal doted on his grand daughters, daughters-in-law and nieces. Neal could be rough with the guys but he never swore in front of the ladies. Neal was a man of quiet concern for others. He sometimes seemed gruff to people who did not know him well, but he had a kind and gentle heart. During the time he was very ill, he could not bear to watch the news. The ugliness of our present world was just too much. Neal loved to tease every- one. He was well known for giving waitresses a hard time and his standard response when asked about a car problem was “Sounds like a loose nut behind the wheel.” He loved keeping his own vehicles in tip top shape. When he retired Neal and Marlene moved to Sumpter to run their RV park full-time. He bought a cat, a backhoe, a loader and a couple of dump trucks and worked just as hard at being retired as he ever did at being a me- chanic. Although his wife knew he was just playing with his giant Tonka toys. Neal loved snowmobil- ing and served as president of the local snowmobile club for two or three terms. He was a huge supported for other snowmobilers as well. He enjoyed hunting, four wheeling, tinkering in his shop and blue grass New from the author of "How to Heal a Broken Heart in 30 Days," as seen on The Today Show! “… an incredible, must-read book.

Neal could ﬁ x just about anything and made many handy inventions. Even after he became ill, he couldn’t resist improv- ing on the design of the medical devices. There was never a dull moment when Neal was around, he al- ways kept the conversation lively. Neal also enjoyed serving with the Sumpter Volunteer Fire Department and was afﬁ liated with the McEwen Bible Fellowship church. His larger than life presence will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
