Anton (Tony) Berg, age 102 years, passed away on January 26, 2021, after a very full life. Tony served Long Grove for 13 years as Village Superintendent and was on the board of Kildeer Countryside School District for some years. Tony was a member of the Long Grove Volunteer Fire Department and served as its President. He was also the President of the Long Grove Historical Society, as was his wife, Gwen. Quote from a Village of Long Grove resident, “Tony and Gwen were pillars of Long Grove in its early years; truly a Village treasure.”
