John Archie Berg, 76, of New Sewickley Township, passed away peacefully on June 13th, 2025, at UPMC Passavant, McCandless. John was born in Rochester and was raised in Monaca. He was a proud graduate of Monaca High School, with the class of 1966. His commitment to his country was evident early on when he entered the U.S. Navy in 1968 during the Vietnam War, honorably serving for eight years. John was stationed in Oahu, Hawaii and served as a radio operator aboard ship and on a submarine, experiences that shaped his resilience and discipline. While stationed at the submarine base in New London, Connecticut, John met and married the love of his life, Charlene Ann Nicolosi, on October 14th, 1972, in New London, Connecticut. After returning to civilian life in Pennsylvania they built a life together filled with love, laughter, and the joy of raising their three children: Severina, Daniel (Amanda), and Matthew Berg. His legacy continued to grow with the births of his cherished grandchildren, Corbin and Jeriah Berg. John’s professional life was marked by his dedication as an electrician at Nova Chemical, where he retired after many years of service. His skills extended to the family farm, where he was the indispensable “farm mechanic,” ensuring that all farm equipment operated smoothly. His work ethic was unmatched, and his membership with the United Steel Workers and past affiliation with the Masonic order spoke to his belief in the value of community and brotherhood. He attended Northway Christian Community Church and later found fellowship at Grace Community Church in Cranberry Township. His faith was not just a personal journey but a shared mission with Charlene. For more than a decade, the couple brought the spirit of the holidays to life at Northway Community Church by participating and providing horses and livestock for the Christmas and Easter pageants. John was an avid outdoorsman and was a man of diverse interests. He delighted in hunting and had favorite fishing spots at Moraine State Park and in Canada, where he enjoyed the serenity of nature. His love for horses was evident as heexhibited them at the Big Knob Grange Fair, sharing his passion with his community. In their retirement years, John and Charlene became adventurers, spending winters in Florida, exploring the western states in their motorhome, and enjoying the relaxation of Caribbean cruises. These travels were some of the happiest times of their lives, filled with discovery and the pleasure of each other’s company. He was preceded in death by his parents, Archie Leonard and Marguerite (Cole) Berg, and his siblings, Carol Jean Berg, Thomas Berg, and C Bruce Berg. He is survived by his beloved wife, Charlene, his children and grandchildren, his sister-in-law, Donna Berg and several nieces and nephews.
