George Berg Obituary
Roxbury Twp. - Mr. George F. Berg, Jr., 78, died on January 6, 2020 at the Morristown Medical Center after a brief but hard fought battle with cancer. He was born in Orange and grew up in Livingston where he was a 1959 HS graduate. He lived in Succasunna for the last 44 years. He was a retired insurance claims executive that worked in the insurance industry for 54 years.
He enjoyed camping, the horse track, washing cars in the driveway, shopping, smoking cigars and spending time with his family. His boys all played soccer and he was an active member of the Roxbury Travel Soccer Program throughout their younger years. Later in life he took pleasure in watching his grandchildren play sports and carry on the torch.
He is survived by his devoted wife Frances C. (Barry) Berg of 52 years and 4 sons who were his greatest pride, Scott (and Julie) Berg of California, Brian (and Theresa) Berg of Budd Lake, Keith (and Ursula) Berg of Long Valley, and Eric (and Nicole) Berg of Flanders. He will be sorely missed by his 8 loving grandchildren: Sean, Emily, Marina, Collin, Logan, Ferris, Willa, and Reagan whom he adored. He is also survived by his sister Barbara Smigel of Succasunna, many brothers and sisters in-law and many nieces and nephews.
Private arrangements are by the Davis & Hepplewhite Funeral Home, 96 Main Street, Succasunna, NJ 973-584-7264 (davishepplewhitefh.com). Donations may be made in his honor to Thevaleriefund.com to benefit The Valerie Fund Children's Center at Goryeb Children's Hospital in Morristown, NJ.

Remembering my Uncle George Berg. With his son, my cousin Scott we were often on adventures with Uncle George while the younger kids stayed home. We spent hours shopping, pro soccer games, horse tracks, and youth sports fields. I have so many fond memories with George. Like blasting around in his MG with Scott and I taking turns getting stuffed behind the seats, all the while Billy Joel blaring. Oh and there is the day he killed the rabbit, but I'll share that in person. George took us all on the winter sliding trips most other adults wouldn't dare. Crabbing, fishing, snowmobiling and especially lots and lots of camping. I'm so glad that he and Aunt Francie camped together with us on Lake Champlain this past August, it was a magical trip! Thanks for all the gifts, the second hand cigar smoke, for being interested in my life and career, for always being an original character with a great big smile and a passion for good living. Thanks for loving my God mother Aunt Francie.
You guys yelled, but you hugged and laughed too. I'll miss you uncle George. May all your shopping in heaven be full of good deals and all of your horses win the race! Love nephew Danny Budd
