Randall Colberg Obituary

Colberg Jr., Randall Sam Born December 9, 1943, battled a rare, long and difficult illness. He worked for Peterson Electric Panel Mfg. Co. in Berkeley, IL and member of IBEW Local#134 for 44 years. He was highly respected and loved by both employer and co-workers. He truly looked forward to work every day. Even though some days were very difficult due to illness, he never wavered. He had many trips to Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN, which blessed his loved ones with more time with him, as well to help others. His loves were a great steak "every day if could," his beloved dog, "Snickers," flannel shirts, cruises and camping. Survived by loving wife of 33 years, Barbara; sister, Marches; and many nieces, nephews, grandnieces, grandnephews and cousins. Randall, called Randy, will be deeply missed and always remembered for his endless courage, strength and devotion. Donations to Mayo Clinic.

Sorry to hear about your loss of Randall. I worked with him for many years at Peterson while I was sheet metal forman. He was a great guy. We used to go hunting together. I was always amazed at the size of his hands and wrists. He was a very strong fella. If there is any memorial please let me know. God bless.
