Dene and Andrea at our recent AGP
With much sadness, DBSC acknowledges the passing of Dene Bergman. Following a battle with cancer, Dene passed away peacefully on Tuesday June 16th.
Dene had been a stalwart of our club from the early 80’s. Backed by his avionics engineering career, Dene was the master of response boats, radio communications, and general maintenance at our club.
Dene had a wonderful sense of humour. So obsessed with keeping our premises in order, he produced many wonderful cartoons and signs around our club, which you can see. Like so many great volunteers at DBSC, Dene was always the first to volunteer and never sought recognition for his contributions.
Many of us had the privilege of catching up with Dene at our recent AGP. It was wonderful to see him enjoying the night.
We extend our love and support to Dene’s beautiful wife Andrea and their family.
PS. There is no plan for a funeral service; however, the club will formally recognize Dene at the commencement of our summer season in September.
