This is a photo of Joseph Andrew Bordenkecher. He was born 9 July 1927. We are looking for anyone who knew Joe. He was also in the merchant marines as well.
I have found the Bordenkecher family and who Joseph belonged too. He died a a very young age of 42 and died in San Francisco CA. His sister Jody Marley had him disinterred and moved back home to Indianapolis IN. I am still searching for his second wife , Doris Marie Martinez , her date of birth is about July 4, 1936 and she was either born in Puerto Rico or New York. I have conflicting information on her birth place . Doris had two children with Joseph and unfortunately both of the children were abandoned and the daughter was adopted. The son went on to stay with a foster family till he went into the Navy. I do have more information but I am still searching for Doris.
