Berger H. Carlson MD

Sorry to hear about the loss of your Dad Dave (and family). I remember he helped me when I was in youth hockey through a sports injury. He was very attentive to the medical aspect, but always took the time to ask about my family, and talk about how the sports team was doing. He was also highly regarded by my parents and family. Sorry to hear it, and just a short note to let you and your family know you are in my thoughts.

In 1960, I came to work as a graduate R.N. from the Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital School of Nursing. I worked closely with Dr. Carlson on several of his chest cases and other surgeries as well. He was the first to do chest surgery at CH and I had experience at Hanover with such. He was a brilliant surgeon and cared deeply about his patients as much after surgery as he did while in the operating room. At the time he was at CH, I would not let any other surgeon touch a member of my family because I knew his skills and standards. He held his head high and had every right to do so. What he gave to the world and to his family is a legacy of which you can all be so very proud. I will never forget him. God be with you all.

Marilyn and all,

So sorry to hear of this news. Please accept our deepest condolences.

My parents and our family always held the fondest thoughts of Berger. I was once told that Berger was room mates at Northwestern with Dr. William Klingensmith and Dr. Nicholas Wetzel, both of whom were my uncles.

Berger is in our prayers.

Sincerely,

The Bairstow Family

Our deepest sympathy to Marilyn and the entire Carlson extended family. Berger was an outstanding Concord citizen in so many ways - as a extremely skilled surgeon, a businessman, a loyal friend to so many, a leader and role model for our youth and a great family man. He and Marilyn were always so very kind to us.

Marilyn and family: My thoughts and prayers to you in memory of a wonderful medical colleague, a great tennis competitor, a devoted family patriarch and a community icon. An honest, strong, principled, uncomplaining and ethical man has come into our lives and we are the richer for it.

So sad to learn this. A wonderful man. An honor to know him.

In 1980 I was engaged to marry Down in my home state of Texas. At the time you had to have a physical before marrying. At mine it was discovered I had a very large tumor on my thyroid. I almost cancelled the wedding. The surgeon in Texas spurred me on and said he had a classmate from medical school who was an outstanding surgeon who just happened to be in Concord NH. I married. A couple of weeks later, after relocating up north, I met Dr Carlson. Over our time together through all this he always called me the little bride. The nurses told me he was all business and demanded the best for his patients. No mistakes. To me he was a harbor in a very scary storm. RIP Dr Carlson. I am tucking your family and friends in prayer.

Dr. CARLSON, my family and I are very saddened by this news. You were loved and will be missed. Prayers for your family .

My thoughts and prayers are with the family...As customers of Veanos it was always a pleasure waiting on the family and taunting Dr. Carlson on not eating pepperoni pizza...he will be greatly missed.

So saddened by this news! Rest In Peace Dr Carlson. You touched Us all at Veano's You will be missed! My heart goes out to Your family <3
