Passing this on from Bob's daughter…. Bob and his late wife Carol (DAL Flt Attendant) were dear friends and committed members of our church. Bob left the cockpit early pre-bankruptcy when he was first diagnosed with a cancer that was expected to take his life quickly, and IMO the company did him few favors and some real hurts, although the offer to fly both Bob's and Carol's remains "non-rev" for free to their final resting place has been a true source of happiness for the kids. He survived miraculously but the terrible damage made it impossible for him to return to duty, and later recurrences plagued him for the next two decades. It will be an honor to lead his celebration of life service in a few weeks.

 

Dear friends and family, It is with a heavy heart that I share the news of Bob Berger’s passing. On Thursday, November 13th, Bob took his final breath after hearing loving goodbyes from family members both near and far. Those who were with him during his final moments witnessed the gentle peace on his face—his eyes fixed, as he peered into the new life to come.

Bob’s story is a reminder that miracles still happen. By the grace of God, he lived nearly 20 years beyond a terminal cancer diagnosis. During those extra years, he was able to witness milestones in his children’s lives, welcome and cherish his grandchildren, and lovingly care for his wife through her own health challenges. Bob always said that his healing was a gift from God—one he felt called to share with and pour back into his community.

We will be honoring Bob’s life with a Celebration of Life service on Saturday, December 6th at 10:00 AM at Faith Community Bible Church in Loudon, NH. We would love to gather with you to remember him together.

We’re doing our best to spread the word, so please feel free to share this post with others who knew Bob. I (Lauren Berger Platter) will be checking in on my dad’s Facebook page periodically, so please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or messages.


Thank you for your love, prayers, and support during this time.
Love,
Lauren, Ryan, Lucas and the rest of the Berger family
