Robert E. "Bob" Berg, 83, passed away due to natural causes at home on Saturday, August 31, 2024. Cremation has taken place, and a graveside service was held on Friday, September 6, 2024, in Highland Cemetery with Pastor Megan Hoewisch officiating.
Bob was born on February 1, 1941, in Lewistown to Walter and Olga (Logeland) Berg, the second of four children. When he was five, the family moved to Havre where Bob attended school, graduating from Havre High School in 1960. He soon entered the US Army and served until his honorable discharge in 1963. At that time, Bob returned to Havre, where he met Deanna McLeod. The two married in Houston, TX, in 1964, and soon after had two sons. For much of his career, Bob worked as a lineman for Montana Power, spending over twenty years as the town manager in Big Sandy, retiring in 1997.
Bob enjoyed fishing, hunting, camping, and bowling. His favorite pastime was restoring his 1964 Chevrolet Impala convertible. He took his final ride in his convertible to Highland Cemetery the day he was laid to rest. Bob was a family man who adored his family. Spending time with them was priceless for him.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Walter and Olga Berg; sister, Donna Jean Berg; in-laws, Bob and Jackie McLeod, and his precious fur baby, Teddy.
