    To Hillary and Christopher
    I’m so sorry to hear of your father and my friend’s passing. You two were Don’s everything. He loved you so much. The picture here with his granddaughter is priceless. Please let me know if I can help in anyway. I will always hold a special place in my heart for Don. He was a great friend and will be missed.

    Our sympathies to the Berger family. Our families were close when the Bergers lived in Bloomfield. I shared Joe’s passing with my siblings. We enjoyed reminiscing about the Berger/Kohles connections~the “Good ole days”. Sherry, Jerry, Roger, Chuck, Mary and Lisa all send their condolences. (Larry passed away in 2000).

    Very sorry to hear that Joe passed away. We Heavrin’s always knew “Donald Joseph” as Joe. I remember Joe as the “little” brother who wanted to hang with the big guys. Now he can hang with the “big” guys in heaven. He will undoubtedly be missed by many.

    I echo everyone else sending condolences after Joe’s passing. The Bergers and Heavrins spent lots of time together as kids – both in and out of school. We were on the swim team for years, and can still remember when a bunch of us tried walking home on the railroad tracks from a Wausa Swim Meet. It started getting dark, and all of us were scared to death – then, rounding bend we saw Mr. Berger (Joe’s dad) waiting for us at a country-road intersection. I’m sure he knew that we were falling apart as the sun started going down. Sleeping in the tent or on the back balcony at the Berger house were two more times when we were scared spit-less – a scary guy with a “bump on his head” standing in the door of the tent; and then the scary “blue lights” coming from a detached garage at the old Funeral Home. I could go on and on, but had better close. All of the Berger “kids” are special – and I’ll be remembering Joe at Mass each Sunday. Rest in Peace Joe….
