Donald "Don" E. Berg

Don was born in Littleton, Massachusetts on March 2, 1936 at home. His family moved to Pinellas Park, Florida in 1948 and he graduated from Tomilson Vocational School. He proudly served his country after joining the United States Army on July 24, 1956 and was stationed in Korea for 18 months. He met his wife, Barbara, of 66 years, in January of 1959 and they settled in Pinellas Park, Florida. In September 1960, he went to work for National Cash Register and was employed with them for 33 years. In March of 1965, NCR gave him the territory of Hernando County, so Don and his family moved to Rolling Acres in Brooksville, Florida.

Don was one of the founding members of the Spring Lake Volunteer Fire Department that is located now on Mondon Hill Road in Brooksville, Florida. He also was on the board of directors for the Hernando County Habitat for Humanity and helped build several houses in Brooksville. He and his family joined the Spring Lake United Methodist Church in 1967 and have been a part of the church for 60 years. He served as a trustee for many years, and he completed multiple repairs at the church.

He is preceded in his passing by his father, John Christian Berg Sr.; his mother, Alberta Phelps Berg; his brothers, John Christian Berg Jr., Richard E Berg, and Roger P Berg; his son, James David Berg; and his great-granddaughter, Remington Rose Perrone.
