Peter Berg Obituary
He was born in Ossining, NY on September 15, 1948. From the beginning he had a panache for doing things his way. He was a creative builder and spent his time restoring old houses and vintage cars, he could fix anything. He selflessly helped anyone that needed a hand and was the first to jump in and problem solve when needed.
He volunteered with the United States Army and served in Vietnam in 1968-69. He was honorably discharged in 1970. He spent many years silently mourning his fellow soldiers that never returned. Pete worked as a carpenter and foreman with the Carpenter's Union in Westchester until his retirement. Though he never really stopped working.
In 1981 he married Amy (Geyer) Berg, before moving to Fishkill in 1984.
Pete was predeceased by his parents August and Eleanor (Quill) Berg. He is survived by his wife and children, Peter G. Berg (NJ), Tracy Berg Bagnato (NJ), Eric Berg (AR) and Evan Berg (NY). His sister Marilyn Sullivan (NY), 8 grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.
Pete was known by many as they watched him walk his varied paths through life. He was a member of Sunup Rod and Gun Club and The Dutchess Cruisers.
His family would like to thank the First Responders of Fishkill, amazing neighbors that jumped in to help selflessly on Feb 23rd, the compassionate medical personnel at Castle Point, and West Haven VA hospitals as well as all members of the military that served and continue to serve our country.
The family would like to grieve in private and invite all that knew him to stop by the "house that Pete built," at any time to pay their respects.
May this proud soldier find peace as he journeys on.
