Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

As of this moment the Berg Surname/Bloodline will only continue with my son.

Unfortunately working in IT has allowed me to work with many different police departments/government facilities and see many issues that plague them today and many things my grandfather spoke with me about before his retirement/passing.

Power, greed, racism and money have caused corruption across many cities/departments which is unfortunate as I was always taught Police Officers should be Resolute which many are but the folks calling the shots cause alot of influence and persuasion to alter police officers decisions causing many "bad apples" on the force. At this time the the Supreme Court ruled that the police do not have a constitutional duty to protect a person from harm which makes me feel my grandfather was right and things were changing across police forces that no longer would stand for the people rights/protection that they served for.

I will always continue to do what's right in my heart and stay resolute as I know that's what you would have expected from me even though I'm sure we would also disagree on some things :)

Hopefully someday I can make it Dalsland Sweden back to our roots and Germany on the otherside of the family tree.

I also hope when this is all over the universe will realign our conciousness so we can eventually communicate our beliefs with compassion, love and empathy.

Forever in my thoughts/memories
Your Great Great Grandson,

Although you died before I was born I feel that I knew you as my father (your son) told me a great deal about you. He was also a police officer and Sheriff of Wood County, WI. At one time he was the youngest sheriff to be elected to office in the State of WI. He was a great person and you would have been proud of him.
Growing up I had the chance to live in the old Wood County Jail Sheriff's quarters so I got to live a bit of the same life your family lived in those quarters.
Your legacy has gone on for five (5) generations - son, grandson, great granddaughter, great great grandsons (2), have chosen to go into some area of law enforcement. You would also be very proud of them as we are of your memory. You laid a great foundation for a family to be proud of.

In Memory of my Great Grandpa,

I never knew you Great Grandpa or your son Arthur Berg who was my Grandpa and Sheriff of Wood County, and my dads dad. My dad was also named William A Berg and retired as a Lieutenant with the WRPD and passed away just over a year ago. I will meet you Great Grandpa, and Grandpa, and see you again Dad that I miss very much. You guys just please don't be to hard on me when I get to meet you.
Love From Your Great grandson, take care of my Grandpa, and my Dad.

To My Great-Grandfather;

Your legacy has involved 5 generations. Your son, my grandfather, Arthur Berg, was sheriff of Wood County for a number of terms. Arthur's son, my uncle, William Berg was in law enforcement, retiring as a Sergeant with the Wisconsin Rapids Police Department. I never knew you, but hope you'd be proud that my job as a forester for the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources requires me to be a Level I Law Enforcement Officer responsible for enforcing forestry laws on state forest land. My nephew, Charlie Hoogesteger, will be the 5th generation member to be involved in law enforcement when he graduates in spring 2004 from the University of Wisconsin Eau Claire majoring in Criminal Justice. He will enroll in a law enforcement academy in the fall of 2004.

Your great-granddaughter,

Kathy
