James D. "Jim" Bergstrom

Dear Corinne and families,
I was very, very saddened to hear of the sudden passing of "Uncle Jim" as I always knew him, even though he was really my Great Uncle (my mom's uncle). Russell was my grandpa, and he too passed FAR too early. Uncle Jim reminded me so much of Grandpa Russ that every time I saw him it made me cry and miss my Grandpa, but also so glad that he was around to be a "replacement"! He was so funny, fun, kind, generous, hard-working, inspiring, and a good old Minnesota...

Corrine, Mike, and Jerry,

We are sorry to hear about the loss of your dad. I am sure it is a very hard and difficult time for your entire family right now. I hope you take comfort in the memories you have from a life time spent with a good man.

Dear Corinne, Cathy, Darrell, Mike & Jerry,

I want to offer my very Sincere Sympathy to all of you & your Families for the loss of "Jim", a great Husband, Father, Grandfather, Uncle & Friend to many. Even though I only attended Rush City HS for the 9th grade we always remained friends over the many years & I was looking forward to being with him at this next year's 60th Class of '51' Reunion. This event will not be the same without him.

I felt honored to be able to...

I always enjoyed seeing Jim at our high school reunions over the years--at those reunions, he appeared to have never changed. He seemed exactly as he had been in high school...friendly, full of stories, and full of humor. I moved away from Minnesota after high school, so did not have a chance to know him over the last years since graduating with him in 1951, but he was not a person one forgets easily. He made a lasting impression. My heart goes out to his family and friends as they have...

Great Aunt Corrine and family,
I am greatly saddened by your loss and want to send you my deepest sympathies. Papa Vern always spoke highly his brother, as did my mother, aunts and uncles. Lots of great stories beginning with the phrase " One time Uncle Jim..." He will be greatly missed.

Corinne & Family,

John and I are so sorry to hear of Jim's passing. He was a wonderful husband, dad, and grandpa. There will be an empty spot at the table this holiday season, but your cherished memories and love for each other and Jim will fill it.

Corrine and family, my condolences to a great family.Jimmy was always very genuine and special to me as he always had that special laugh and humor about him .Many prayers and thoughts too your family.

Corrine, Cathy, Darrell, Mike, Jerry and families - We are so sorry to hear about Jim's (your dads) passing. I have always enjoyed being around him, listening to his stories and him playing the accordian. I loved listening to him and my dad (Art) go back and forth about whose tractor is the better one. He is a very special man that has brought much laughter to others. I hope that he and my mom connect in heaven. God be with you all. Love Cindy & Jim Brickman, Brooklyn Center, MN

Cath, Bill & the Bergstrom family,
We are very sad to hear of your dad's passing. We also have some great memories of him snowmobiling and watching him & Bill on their tractors at the threshing show. He was certainly a character and a wonderful man. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with all of you!
Love,
Jim & Jill Seiberlich
