Aaron and I went to grade school at St. John's together and he lived on the street behind ours. He was always a kind and good person. Our thoughts and prayers are with Bergstom family (Greg Zampier, formerly of NH).

Sorry to hear of your loss. I attended school with Aaron at St. John's and NHHS. He was a good person and so sorry to hear of his life cut so short. You are in my prayers today and in the days to come.

I just found out this morning about Aaron's passing. I was shocked and feel so bad for his family. Aaron and I were friends growing up, and through high school and college. A very nice guy, and I regret that we fell out of touch over the years. The last time I saw him we met up for lunch at Packy's on a visit to Utica. That was a long time ago. I am so sorry to have missed the services, and want to express my condolences to Aaron's family, Karen and his folks. I am so sorry for your loss.

I can always count on Aaron's sense of humor to lift your spirts up when you were down. He was part of the 5 roomates that always worked hard and had fun being together. I lossed touch of him because our families moved on but wont never forget his memories.

Aaron was a classmate at New Hartford and MVCC with me. I am sorry to hear of his passing. I will remember him from those days as a real nice guy who enjoyed life. He was lucky to have such special long-lasting friendships.
Karen and Mr and Mrs Bergstrom-I am sorry for your loss.

Aaron and I coached together a few years ago in BMAC. He was a dedicated coach and sincerely cared about the kids. I didn't know his family other than Taylor. My heart goes out to you Taylor and your family. God Bless.

I worked with Aaron at Fischer Bay Shop Rite. My love, friendship and prayers go out to Mary, Taylor, Chris and his entire family. He was my boss, my friend and someone I will never forget. He was good to me. My husband and children loved Aaron too because at Fischer Bay everyone is family. May you all know I truly share in your loss and will forever remember the fun times we had at work. May God bless you all and know you have our love and prayers.
