Deepest Sympathy;
Someone so special will never be forgotten, and the happiest of times will always be remembered. James had his own way about doing things and in exercise class always a helper. He loved to show new people in the class what they need for the class....He was a joy and will be missed. James attended my Silver Sneakers class at the YMCA and I always could count on him to help me......

My heart goes out to the Family of Mr. Bergeron. He was a great guy and always had a smile on his face when I came into the Mens Class room at church asking for something :-) He will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you in the family and dear close friends.

I would say that it was a pleasure the first time I met James at the YMCA but that would not be truthful. Truthfully at first I thought he was the grumpiest old man but as the days past and I got to spend time with James I learned so much more. He was my friend and I will miss him being in my Silver Sneakers class every Wednesday. I will treasure the lunch we had and the other times we got to talk. I'm so thankful I got a chance to say goodbye but only for a while for we will see each other again in Glory. May all your family know you were a treasure in the rough as I know. Blessings. Michele Humphrey, YMCA Silver Sneakers Instructor
