John Howard Bergland

Thinking of you all-especially Meg, Eric and Alice sending big love and hugs

What will I most about John? I miss him in so many ways. I am forever grateful he was "The Dad" to our children.i miss his love of life and readiness for adventure. He didn´t worry about the small stuff. Heck he didn´t worry! When I see a side road to take or a slice of pie I know he´ll be by my side enjoying it with me.

My second nd date with George Smsllman was to a party at John and -Alice´s where I met baby Brook and heard of upcoming Lennon I thought the world of John and, years later, remember telling my daughter that if she ever needed to get some advice, she should talk to John I trusted him, his mind and heart, whatever the situation My world is a poorer place without him

John´s daughter, Meg , was is my very best friend growing up (and still is)
I remember John being so loving, always playing good music specifically, I remember driving with them (Alice and John) often in a green Volkswagen van... he was so kind to me and their home was such a respite to me because I didn´t have the kind of home that this family did-frankly I think that kind of love- for each other for children, and for everyone who crossed his path) is hard to find and I feel like he helped create that atmosphere of acceptance and welcome.
I´m so grateful to have known him.

Our acquaintance was brief, but I noted quickly that here was one of the good guys.

With deepest sympathy and remembrance of a good man and husband.

John was a great guy. His warmth and joyful spirit set him apart. I´m sure the grace he displayed in living with the loss of his memory is a comfort as all his family and loved ones adjust to his departure.

I met John when he came to visit us in Miami. I had been a life long friend with his wife Candy. He was a lovely man
