Hub City Man Dies After Pushing Car
A San Anselmo weather stripping salesman died of an apparent heart attack yesterday after his car stalled at Fourth and H streets in San Rafael.
Russell Borkheim, 52, dropped to the pavement at a nearby service station where he and two pedestrians pushed the stalled car. He was pronounced dead shortly before noon by Dr. Rafael Dufficy.
Borkheim, the son of the late Marin County Sealer of Weights and Measures, is survived by his wife, Ruth C. Borkheim of 217 Los Angeles avenue, San Anselmo; a daughter, Mrs. Betty Ward of Vallejo; a son, Russell Borkheim Jr., stationed with the Army in Germany, and a brother, Harvey Borkheim of Woodacre.
Funeral services will be held at 10 a.m. Tuesday at Keaton’s San Rafael, under auspices of Marin Lodge 191, F&AM, of which Borkheim was a member. Interment will be in Mt. Tamalpais Cemetery.
