I attended the funeral today of Officer Jeff Berg at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Chaska. Jeff passed on last Tuesday after a long struggle against cancer.
There were many family members today at the service, including almost every officer, records clerk and 911 dispatcher in our Police Department. He worked in our Police Department for over 20 years. He had a lot of friends and a lot of co-workers.
Jeff was a kind and good man. He will be greatly missed by his friends and co-workers, and especially by his wife and child.
Farewell Jeff. Rest in peace.
