On behalf of my wife Nancy and our children Hannah, Henry, Emma and Eleanor I want to extend our heartfelt and loving condolences to the Iverson family, friends and particularly our good friends and neighbors Tom Iverson, his wife Karla and their son Seth at the passing of a beloved husband, father and grandfather. Mr. Iverson and the Iverson family are in our thoughts and prayers.
Marge, Lori, David, Tom and extended families ...
It was with sorrow that we learned of Wayne's passing. His hard working, honest, kind and caring nature was an admirable trait and one that was shared with us by many of the residents that he served for over 20 years as a co-worker of ours. He truly went the extra mile at all times.
Curt will miss the Saturday morning breakfasts with Wayne after he retired and the conversations regarding the obvious pride he and Marge had with their children and their developing families.
Wish we could have had the opportunity to bring you and Marge some more "goodies" from the smoker that you loved so much in exchange for the Norweigan delicacies that you brought our way !!
Rest in peace Wayne - you will be missed greatly.
so sorry to hear of your loss marge; my thoughts and prayers are with you;; harvey cunningham
David:
My deepest sympathies go to you and your family on the loss of your father. May he rest in peace and you hold the memories in your heart.
I had just spoken to Wayne last week outside of the Verizon store in Rochester. He told me he had just thought of my Dad, Bennett Berge, recently. He also remembered that he had encouraged my dad to run for Town Board and that my dad had done a really good job all the many years he was on the board. We also talked about how I babysat for the Bremmer kids all through my high school years and also about how much fun Wayne, Margie, Lyle and Carol and the kids always had. He was now proud of the fact that he and Margie were able to live in their trailer house and take care of it on their own. I'm very happy that I was able to rekindle some old memories in our conversation.
We were both at the Verizon store getting our phones adjusted. Wayne left the store before I did, and when he left, the very kind gentleman technician he'd worked with walked Wayne back to his car to be certain he got there safely and stood talking to him while Wayne got into his car. I thought that was so nice of the technician and wanted to mention it.
May Wayne and Bennett both rest in peace. I hope they are chuckling at stories from their youth!
Hugs,
LaVonne Berge Jacobson
Just wanted to let you know my thoughts and prayers are with you all. I am pretty sure that my mom greeted him with a big hug and is probably still chatting away..
Sending you all a big hug from Florida
