David Berg

Renowned structural engineer David M Berg, who played a key role in strategizing and building The New England Patriots’ first stadium in Foxboro, Ma – originally Schaefer Stadium, then renamed Sullivan Stadium – died peacefully, surrounded by his family, near his long-time home of Needham, MA.  He was 93 years old.

A graduate of Boston Latin School and MIT, he served in both the US Navy and the Army Corps of Engineers. He built his own firm, now known as D.M. Berg Consultants of Needham, into a sought-after company that handled design and engineering challenges with expertise and ingenuity, from hotels to hospitals to parking garages to private residences throughout New England and beyond.

Dave, as he was known, was the loving husband of the late Shirley M Berg (Darish); cherished brother of Betty Brudnick [the late Irving], the late Joseph Berg [the late Ruth], and the late Sydney [the late Matty]; beloved father and grandfather of Carolyn Faye Fox and Hannah Fox (Benjamin Raizen), and beloved father and grandfather of Nancy Berg, her late husband Stanton Braude, and their son and daughter.
