Earle Elwin Berghman, age 76, passed away unexpectedly on February 6, 2024, in the privacy and comfort of his home. Earle lived a wild ride of a life, with many experiences well before his children came along. He was certainly quite a character!
Earle was born on May 2, 1947 in Rehoboth, Massachusetts, where he grew up. His father, Nels E. Berghman, came from Sweden; his mother, Ruth (Davis) Berghman was from Maine. So many of Earle's summers were spent in Maine in the mountains, hunting, fishing and enjoying the outdoors.
He also loved Florida and the ocean. He was an avid Harley Davidson rider, always enjoying Daytona Bike Week, as well as NASCAR and politics.
He is survived by his son, Daniel C. Berghman; his daughter, Ashley M. McGowan; his grandson, Austin W. McGowan; and his great-grandson, Cayden Citron. He was predeceased by his eldest son, Earle "Keith" Berghman and his eldest grandson, Keith Beland.
Earle's family has entrusted cremation arrangements to the Enea, Ciaccia & Applegate funeral directors. Online notes of sympathy may be left at www.eneafamily.com.
