Bob is survived by his daughter, Susan Berg Brown and her husband, Phil, of Fairfield, Connecticut; his son, Robert A. Berg and his wife, Lynne of Erie, Colorado; his grandchildren, Dillon, Bryan, Kate, and Matthew, whom he was immensely proud of, and many relatives, friends, and co-workers who will miss him dearly.

The family extends its heartfelt gratitude to the many friends, neighbors, caregivers, and healthcare professionals who offered kindness, companionship, and support throughout his life. A private celebration of life will be announced by the family at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Long Island Bulldog Rescue in honor of Bob's love for his dog, Daisy. Bob will be remembered with love, gratitude, and affection by all whose lives he touched.
