It is with sorrow that I read of Peter's passing. I remember him as a loving and devoted partner to Mary and a dedicated and caring father to his boys. He was always friendly, courteous, curious, and had a twinkle in his eye that demonstrated his good humor whenever I met him. His legacy is in the love he bestowed on those around him.

Peter, Tommy, Rick, myself, and lots of fortunate others shared many great experiences both on and off the Baseball fields as they were growing up. Peter was always such a positive and world class person in every way...really special! He led by example that inspired us to all strive to be better people. Peter was a wonderful role model for everyone. It was our great privilege to be a friend of his and the family! The Goode family sends our thoughts and prayers to all of the Bergs.

Dear Mary, Charlie, Alex, Harry and Tommy -

I am saddened to learn of Peter's passing. We developed a friendship throughout the years of working together to support WHS academic and co-curricular programs for the students. I admired his kindness, wisdom, integrity and unselfishness. The world is a better place because of Peter Berg's impact.
