Robert G. Bergman
As Bob's wife, I have the privilege to write the obituary for my husband. It is easy to give you the basic information of his life, but I cannot begin to tell you what this man has brought to the lives of his family. He laughed with us, prayed with us, cried with us and always supported us completely. We teased him, embarrassed him and loved him deeply.
Robert G. Bergman, 69, of Brodhead, passed away peacefully at the U.W. Hospital on Monday August 3, 2009. He was born on May 19, 1940 at home in Verdi, Minn. to Mancel and Lorene (Weaver) Bergman. Bob graduated from Driscoll, N.D. High School and then served in the U.S. Air Force as a communications technician. After service, he worked on the railroad and always kept a love for trains. He married Diane Wolff in Jamestown, N.D. and they moved to Brodhead WI in 1965. Bob worked as a Communication Technician for the J.D. Kratz Co. from 1965 to 1985, and then Nortel Networks until his retirement in 2002.
He is survived by his wife, Diane, Brodhead; three daughters, Vicki (Kent) Markham, Oostburg, WI; Tiffany Bergman, Bloomington, IL; Tricia (Roger) Corrigan, Rockford, IL; ten grandchildren, Neil, Adam (Nikki), Brandon, Derek, Caleb, Amanda, Miranda, and Isaac Markham; Brianna and Brooke Corrigan, brothers, Lawrence (Diane) Bergman, Frenchtown, MT, Sherwood Thompson, Brodhead, Duane (Mary) Thompson, Beloit, sisters: Marge Stenerson, Frenchtown, MT, Judy Ziegeldorf, Missoula, MT, Sandra (Arnold) Dillon, Rocky Mount, VA, and Linda (Harry) Becker, Ypsilanti, ND. He was preceded in death by his parents.

Burial will be in Greenwood Cemetery in Brodhead with military rites. Visitation will be Wednesday evening from 5 to 8 p.m. at D.L. NEWCOMER FUNERAL HOME, BRODHEAD, WI.
