LAKESIDE ALUMNI WILLIAM C. BERGE ’47 • June 15, 2015
William “Bill” Clark Berge Sr. passed away, surrounded by his family, at home in Snohomish. Bill was born Nov. 8, 1928, in Seattle, the third child of James Hallard and Sabra Clark Berge. He graduated Lakeside in 1947 as senior class president and with a letter in football. Lakeside was important to him; throughout his life he gave back by volunteering for the school’s fundraising efforts. At the University of Washington, Bill led the school spirit club, the Malamutes, as rally chairman. He pledged the Alpha Delta Phi fraternity and served in the ROTC. In his spare time he was a marketing and business major. After graduation he was commissioned as a second lieutenant. A stint in the Army Reserves and a job on an oil tanker got him conditioned for deployment to Korea with the 444 Transportation Company in 1952. His military exploits were recounted later like “M*A*S*H” scripts. In 1954 life got better. He was honorably discharged, got a job at Frederick & Nelson in Seattle, and met his future wife, Marian Clarke. Four children later and after a surprising encounter with the Episcopal Church, Bill discovered his vocation as a dedicated father and churchman. He was passionate about building and maintaining a beautiful home: gardening and landscaping outside, and supporting his family inside. He loved parish life at St. John’s Snohomish where he began the Community Kitchen in Snohomish. He was a member of St. John’s outreach program with a great concern for the less fortunate in the community. He was for years involved at St. Mark’s Cathedral in Seattle, serving on the Cathedral Chapter. This joyful man found a spiritual home in the Third Order of the Society of St. Francis. He was professed in 2004. His curiosity about life and sympathy for others made lasting friendships. He was preceded in death by his brother, retired U.S. Marine Corps Brig. Gen. James H. (Hal) Berge. He is survived by his wife, Marian; four children, Merrill Berge (Jay Clancy), Clark Berge, John Berge (Raeann), Gretchen Miles (Ron); four grandchildren,
Melinda Berge, Des Clancy, Sarah Miles, Dirk Crozier (Van), and their five children. He is also survived by his sisters, Sabra Bushnell and Melinda Berge, and numerous nieces and nephews.
