Eugene J.

Bergen

Eugene (Gene) J. Bergen, a long time West New York resident, departed this world peacefully at home on June 5, 2024, surrounded by his family.
Gene worked most of his life installing fences with his brother-in-law, John "Big John" Van Gelderen and nephew, Jerry Restel.
Later, Gene worked with his wife, Kim, in their commercial cleaning business.
He was the superintendent for the building he resided in for over 50 years. Gene's generosity and willingness to help anyone in need touched the lives of all those who had the honor to know him. His unconditional love for his family and extended family, as well as his beloved cat, the late Whiskey, was as grand as the immensity of his heart. Gene will forever be remembered and revered as a wonderful storyteller, sharing the history and comedy of his life. Beloved husband of Kim Castanon. Devoted father of the late Sean, Diana (Armando), Tracy (Scott) and Kim (Chris). Devoted pops to Valeri (Ryan), Ashley, Brittany, Aaron, Cammi, Max and great-grandson, Zachary. Loving son of the late Helen (Thompson) and Lawrence Bergen. Dear brother of the late Ferdinand "Freddie" Comas and the late Dolores Comas. Dear uncle to Dolores' children (Jerry, Laurie and Irene) and Freddie's children (Laura, Lisa, Linda, Jeffrey, Donna and Debra). Gene is also survived by many great nieces and nephews. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the American Cancer Society in Eugene Bergen's memory.

His last story as he jingles his key "I'm out of here!"
Pops, maybe one more ice cream run!
