George J. Bergalis
November 9, 1943 — January 22, 2023
George J. Bergalis, 79 years of age, of Sewall’s Point, Florida passed away on Sunday, January 22, 2023.
He was born November 9, 1943 in McAdoo, Pennsylvania to Bernard, and Helen (Lazur) Bergalis. George lived in Still Creek and graduated from Tamaqua High School and Bloomsburg University. He served honorably in the United States Army as a Sharpshooter and was stationed in Japan.
In 1967, George married Anna Kristin Cathcart. They moved to Fort Pierce, Florida in 1978 to enjoy the Florida sunshine and warm weather and raise their beautiful daughters.
George enjoyed being an active member of his local and business community. He was the Finance Director for the City of Fort Pierce, Florida for nearly forty years and served on numerous committees and boards. During his years of retirement, George’s favorite pastime was evenings at the family home in Sewall’s Point overlooking the Indian River while playing ball by the pool with his beloved dogs. He enjoyed his weekly lunches with his lifelong friends and former co-workers from his days in local government. George and Anna Kristin travelled often to Key West where he could relax and appreciate being outdoors. George enjoyed traveling and attending University of Florida Gator games and was a Gator Booster for several decades. The Gators have a new cheerleader in Heaven.
George is survived by wife of 56 years, Anna Kristin (Cathcart) Bergalis; daughter, Allison Mary Tringas (the late Travis Tringas); granddaughters, Parker Athena Tringas, Preslee Paris Tringas, Annabella Alyene Becnel, Evangeline Elaire Blossman; great grandson, Aster Mars Tringas; and sister Andrea Trexler along with his nephews and nieces.
George was predeceased by his daughters, Kimberly Ann Bergalis and Sondra Ann Bergalis and son-in-law J. Travis Tringas.
