Im so sad to hear about Berch. Onset won't be the same without him. I will always have fond memories of having coffee with him when I first came to Onset. Rest in peace Berch.

Dear janet, Jim and I were so sorry to read of Berch's death. We have fond memories of him and your time here in Auburndale at the UPA. My fondest memory is that Berch let me drive his car just after I got my license.
