Charles J. Berg

Charles J. Berg, 84, passed away Saturday at home surrounded by his loving family. Growing up in Syracuse and the surrounding areas Chuck, as he like to be called, was a mischievous youth. Before finishing school, he enlisted in the Army and served from 1954-1961 where he was able to finish his schooling and return home with a degree.

This led to a job with Syracuse Supply Company as a mechanic and then a foreman where he remained for over 40 years.

Chuck met his wife Mary MacIntire, who he is survived by, in 1961, impressed her with his model TR3 car and a ride on Route 81 before it was even finished! Less than a year later they were married on September 9th and have been happily married since then for over 61 years!

Chuckie, as Mary often called him, and his wife later adopted a daughter, Nancy Miller (Bryan) and then a son, Christopher Berg (Sarah) all of whom he is also survived by.

Charles (“Big Blue”) has 3 siblings that survive him; Carol Burkhard, Rick Berg, and Linda Berg Oriolo. He also has 5 grandchildren; Alexandra King (Cameron), Anthony Berg, Rachael Acosta, Zachary Berg, and Nicholas Berg, and a great-grandchild, River Charles King, as well as nieces, nephews and cousins.
