My condolences to the family and friends of Mr. Berg. I am a former student of his. He touched all of us with his kindness, humor, and teaching ability.

I was one of the many who's life was changed by " Mr. Berg". I will be forever grateful for the blessing he was in my life at West Catholic. I was honored to be trusted as a babysitter for his family. This is such a beautiful tribute for a great man who made difference in this world. For you " who loved him most", may you be blessed during this most difficult time

Coach Berg was a tremendous coach and teacher at WCC. Loved playing for him, he always made it fun. Just a great guy. My deepest condolences to his family.

Jerry grew up in the Kolb school area of Bay City and we would see him hitting golf balls in the Kolb fields. He was focused on his sports and we knew Jerry was going to be great. Our prayers go out to Jerrys family. Frank Englund, Naples, FL.; T.L. Handy 1962

You showed me God's love in some of the darkest of times & helped me to see light at the end of the...
