jpgoggin 0 #1 November 3, 2014 30 years ago this month, Jack died of a heart attack at age 48. I saw him the night he died, strangely enough, at a visitation for our FBO who had died. He went out on a bender that night and had a heart attack. He had a heart attack a few years earlier and the doctors told him he could live a very long time if he changed his ways. He chose to go out on his own terms. Jack was one of the more colorful characters I have ever met. I worked for him at the nationals in '84 and it was a great experience. Jack was Treasurer of the USPA in those days and ran the Nationals for several years. Jack was nice enough to leave some money in his will so everyone could have a blowout party after he was gone. And a party it was. BSBD Jack. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jackwallace 3 #3 November 8, 2014 My favorite memory of Bergman, was he and Bob Sprague riding a lawn tractor with a disc behind it in the peas, at the nationals in Plattsburg, NY. Bob on the tractor and Fat Jack on the disc.U only make 2 jumps: the first one for some weird reason and the last one that you lived through. The rest are just filler. scr 316 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
