When we were kids I can remember the family's love for hockey. I used to go to Gears games with them and one memory I have of Mike is that they had an ice rink in their backyard. As he and Dan were playing hockey one day, Mike hit the puck a little too hard and hit my dad square in the face with the puck, broke his nose. At the time it wasn't too funny but to think back on the scene,seeing Mike and Dan freaking out thinking they were in trouble, watching Pat run outside to see if my dad was okay and my dad saying it was okay they are just kids and accidents happen, was priceless. Mike was quite relieved and glad he was not in trouble. They moved away and we lost track of each other, but I will always fondly remember The Berg Family, for they were the first friends we had in our lives. RIP Mike and hugs to the family, may you find peace in this time of sorrow.
