Eddie was a WWII Veteran serving in the Navy. He worked for Continental Can, Chicago, IL and retired after 30 + years.

Mr. Wonderful (as he was fondly called) married Delores (Lyon) May 17, 1952. They were happily married for 65 years.

Eddie was very proud of his children Bruce (Beth Ann), Steve (Beth) & Sandy, eight Grandchildren and eleven Great Grandchildren.

As quoted by a dear close friend: “In all those years I never heard or saw him do an unkind thing about, or to anyone Any comment he made was “Oh, what a shame”. He did not drink, smoke, but his greatest ability was not to get dirty. He always looked like he just got out of the shower. He built a whole house in pure white shirt and pants, which we teased him about as the house went up. He made us look messy. . He could fix just about any home, car, lawn problem, with his wife telling him exactly how, he kept smiling. Every woman wanted a “Mr. Handyman”, I know my husband envied his talent at fixing, as Bud was great at dialing help. I smile every time I go into the lumber department at Builders Square, as I remember Eddie looking like he just won a million on lotto, Delores and Eddie had fun to the smell of fresh lumber. They would just giggle and pick up pieces of wood Yes, they are “soul mates” made for each other. Eddie Bergh is and was a great man, who will remain alive and living in our hearts forever.”
