A central figure in making Litchfield a better place to live has passed away.   77-year-old County Board member Bill Bergen passed away Friday and he wore many hats after making Litchfield his new home after serving with the Navy in Vietnam.  He served as a Litchfield firefighter and EMT for 30 years and was Fire Chief for nearly all of the 1990s in a 15 year run that ended with his retirement in 2006.  He was an Arson Investigator for Litchfield and Montgomery County and served as a Montgomery County deputy coroner.He also  served on the Litchfield Park District Board for 16 years, including time as President.  When you look at the success of the Litchfield girls soccer program, Bergen was a central figure.  He served as head coach for 16 years.  He also coached youth soccer and softball.  He served on the board for the Litchfield Youth Soccer Association for over 25 years. He was also a central figure at  Zion Lutheran Church in Litchfield, where he served as an Elder,and coached Zion girls basketball. Our condolences are going out to his wife of 47 years Joyce and his daughters Susan and Stacy.
