We, too, were shocked and saddened to hear of Tom's sudden passing. He was a great friend and hobby buddy whose trademark positive energy and affable nature has left a void. Wishing we could be at today's memorial, we instead send our sincerest sympathies to Cathy and family.

So fondly remember visiting Tom and Cathy after the 2008 Democratic Convention in Denver. Tom was such a great guy, rare are the chances to meet people as nice as Tom. Praying for Cathy and the whole family.

Both Cathy and I will miss seeing Tom sevral times year at A.P.I.C. shows. Over the decades we have shared many a meal and probably hundreds of hours talking to him and sharing stories. The upcoming convention will be hard without him. there will be a huge hole that can't be filled. Rest in peace old friend.

To the family of Mr. Berg,
My Dad, Michael Berniger, let me know that Mr. Berg passed away. I am saddened to hear that such an energetic person has left us. I remember him as a very active person, always running. He loved his children and my thoughts and prayers go to his children, Emily and Matt. I remember camping with Emily and the Berg family as teenager. He will be missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.
