Brian David Bergenske

Sad to hear about 'Mad-Town' , Brian Bergenske. Condolences to Tank and the rest of the family. R.I.P. Brian.

I was fortunate to meet "Bergie". I also attended UW LaCrosse where I was introduced to the LaFollette group. Dorm life captured and brought a diverse and exuberant cast together. Although we scattered across this grand land, we occasionally touched. Informal reunions were good spirited FUN. Brian did travel. One year He ventured down to visit my Gal, Deb, and me in Florida. Motorcycle enthusiasts also, we didn't have an extra Motocyco for His use but did have an old MG Midget. Off the three of us went to Daytona Beach. Cruising the Beach and stopping into a few local establishments. Tourist time. FUN. Late in the day we were returning back westward home when suddenly the Blue Lights were flashing upon us. The Daytona Beach Policeman said Brian could NOT sit on the rear deck of the car and had to sit inside. Interesting, as Bergie had been sitting on the back from our home inland over 20 miles away and everywhere we traveled in the area all day. We reconfigured ourselves with Brian in passenger seat and Deb jammed behind us in the area where the convertible top would have been located. Car never had a top from procurement. Laughter and continued festivities ensued for the visit. Traveling through this time, I wish I could recall more of the wonderful, exciting, and even mundane events encountered with Bergie. My brain fades. As I said to Bergie the last time we visited, " I'll see you somewhere, later, My Friend" Forward. SloJon

Aw Bergie, you'll be missed. I will always have great memories of hanging out with you at ESBMA. Love you.

Bergie was a good man and friend. He would do whatever he could to help out personally and during the many events held at the East Side Club (Eastside Businessmen's Club). I have attached a picture taken a few years ago of everyone having PHUN with Bergie in Vegas cheering on Bucky. We will miss you friend. . till we meet again.
