Fred Berg Obituary
March 27, 1938 - December 18, 2020
Hilton Head Island, South Carolina - Fred was born and raised in the western suburbs of Chicago. He was the only child of Fred and Lola Berg Wentz. He attended Proviso High School, Arizona State University, and John Marshall Law School. He married Judith Mac Lagan, his High School sweetheart, on December 22, 1959. They had two children: Eric M. Berg and Victoria Smith, and five grandchildren.
When Fred's father-in-law, who owned a large electrical contracting business in Chicago died, Fred left law school to fulfill the remaining contracts. Fred enjoyed the business and ran it for several years. He later was a partner in Fuller Berg Real Estate in Hinsdale, Illinois. When Judy retired from her teaching career, they happily moved to Hillton Head Island in 1995.
