He was a loving and dedicated husband, father, and grandfather who never met a stranger and was a friend to all. He was an honest and hardworking man who had a big heart. Some of his favorite pastimes were the outdoors, RVing, listening to classic country music, and watching old westerns. His passion in life, however, was his family, who he deeply loved. He will be sorely missed and fondly remembered by all who knew and loved him.

Bergeron and his wife Jeanette, and Brenda Bergeron; one sister-in-law, Sandra B. Bergeron; as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
