Joseph Bergmann Obituary
He went to St. Mary's University for his bachelor's and master's degrees, served in the U.S. Navy, then spent 29 years working as a civil servant with the US Military. He married Patricia Dacy in 1967, and they had two children, David "Chris" and Carey. He was a member of and served as lay reader for St. Helena's Episcopal Church. Outside of his occupation and family, Joe's passion was malacology where he specialized in land snails and freshwater bivalves. He later became a Master Naturalist and was honored to have a new species of mussel named in his honor, Lampsillis bergmanni.
Joseph is survived by his wife, Pat, son Chris, daughter Carey and two grandchildren, Brayden and Adyson.
Services will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Monday, August 12, 2024, at St. Helena's Episcopal Church in Boerne with reception to follow.

Joe, I apologized for not keeping in contact with you while you were here on earth. Even though you & I did not maintain a close friendship you will always be my friend . I now live near Victoria, Tx , watching the Southwest Region winner in Boys Little League, your hometown boys, the Boerne boys Little League Team. I wanted to congratulate you as your team beat Florida 4-1. As a straight man, I love you Joe. From heaven watch over me and keep me within the limits of the commandments. Your friend Jim (unconventional) Slovak
