"God took the strength of a mountain, the majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun, the calm of a quiet sea,
The generous soul of nature, the comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages, the power of the eagles flight,
The joy of a morning in spring, the faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity, the depth of a family need,
Then God combined these qualities.
When there was nothing more to add,
He knew His masterpiece was complete. And so,"
He called it . . . . . . Pudge!
- Anon.
A mountain of a man was this kindred soul... "Francis" you will be sorely missed and never forgotten.
Nor, Sue, Mike, Steve, Eric, Colleen, Devin, Ryan, and Molly -
Our thoughts, prayers and love are with you...

We had the great honor of living next door to Pudge for almost 30 years. He made such an incredible impact on all of our lives. He was so much more than a neighbor. He was and always will be a part of our family. We will all miss him dearly.

Dear Bergdolld family:
How do I console a family who has lost its leader - husband, father, grandpa, older brother, uncle. I wish I could say something so profound that it would take away all of the pain you are feeling today. I pray you find comfort in the wonderful memories you have of Pudge. May you find the strength you need, in each passing day, to deal with this tremendous loss.
Most sincerely, Iris

Dear Bergdolld Family, I was a grammer school classmate of Pudge. Our mothers were also friends. I remember a very nice person, and he honored our family by coming to my mother's wake. I am sure the time ahead for his loved one's will be a heavy burden for all. My deepest sympathy, Sincerely, Roseann (Reichling) Joniak
