My sympathy goes out to Ton's family. I am a docent at the Indian King Tavern, Haddonfield and I kept Tom informed of the activities there. In fact I wrote the Courier telling them to reinstate Tom's column. I missed his articles.
You will all be in my prayers for our good Lord to grant all of you peace and comfort at this sad time

In the early 80s Tom was my editor when I was a stringer (part time reporter) for the Courier Post. Though I worked with him only two years, I still cherish his confidence in me and mentoring. He was simply one of God's best. Thanks Tom!

I met Mr. Bergbauer 9 years ago during my first Sons Of Italy Meeting, he was a loving family man, excellent bocce player, great writer, photographer, and a good man. I've enjoyed many bocce games, and discussions with him over the years. I'm going to miss speaking with him, and listening to the stories he would tell me about his time in the navy, his life experiences, and his family. My thoughts and prays are with Doris and his family. Tom is in a better place right now, in heaven, with no pain or worries, playing Bocce with my father and taking pictures with his parents. He will always be with you Doris in your mind and your heart. Love Augie

Tom will truly be missed at the Council. He was an active member for many years with Santa Maria Council #1443 of the Knights of Columbus and a Friday night regular. His special reports after retirement to the Courier Post were also of interest to many. Rest in piece Tom. You were a good friend.

May He Rest In Peace. I knew Tom from the Courier-Post and later when his grandkids went to grade school with my son and daughter. He was a fixture at the paper during its heyday. It was always good to see "Bergie" (newsroom nickname) and hear his take on current events. He was a dedicated newsman, historian and writer, and he was highly devoted to his community and family. His written work over many years is a testament to his love for South Jersey, its history and people. He will be missed.
