My condolences and prayers go with the family. Mr. Bergl was very considerate of us Quigley profs when we purchased a car. I remember with fondness being invited to the Bergl home in Riverside for dinner along with other QPS profs. My best to Robert and his family - may the good Lord keep you all in the palm of his hand.
