It is with a saddened heart I read Jimmy’s Obituary. Sandi and I wish to extend our support in prayers to the whole Berg family. I last saw Jimmy about 7 years ago at a Kammakazie gathering. We had a wonderful visit that brought back memories of running around the neighborhood and playing softball. We send great big bear hugs to Pat and all the siblings.

Jim was my cousin but we grew up together and I always considered him more like my little brother. Jim shared the same birthday as my father who loved him like a son as well. My favorite memories were when we would play in our annual golf outing and Jim his brother John and my dad and I would go out as a foursome and laugh all day no matter how bad we played. Jim you and my dad save John and me a spot on your outings and we will all join you eventuality.

So sorry to hear this. I worked citywide out of Central shop an many times Jim relieved us. He was a great guy and an awesome gasman who knew his job. My deepest sympathies and heartfelt condolences to his family friends and coworkers. May his soul and the souls of all our loved ones rest in God's loving arms. Amen

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of our cousin. In a family our size we do not get to see everyone all to often but like the mighty Oak in our family tree, when we lose a branch we are broken. All of our family that has gone before Jim, will welcome and hold him near. I pray those left behind are comforted by the love and memories he shared while here. God bless
