As a young girl growing up in Yorkville Nyc I remember Johnny Bergin , best friend to my brother Buzzy and my sister Carole. My fond memory of Johnny was when he and my brother stayed in our bungalow upstate New York, neither one of them knew how to cook and attempted to make oatmeal together (which was a disaster) we arrived in time to rescue them. We never let them forget that neither one of them could have survive on their own without my mom.
He will be missed
