Neal M. Bork
Sumpter, 1937-2015
Neal M. 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

music. 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.
Neal is survived by his
wife, Marlene of Sumpter,
OR, sons Mike Bork,
Everett Bork of Baker City,
OR, and Mark Bork of
Spokane WA, all his sons
spouses and nieces and
nephews. He has twelve
grandchildren and six
great-grandchildren.
He is preceded in death
by his parents, Ira and Lora
Bork, three brothers;
Ivan, Everett and Ray-
mond, two sisters; Alma
Giribling and Rita Bork.
