Thomas Bergmann

April 13, 1943 — March 19, 2022

Thomas “Tom” C. Bergmann of Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, passed away peacefully at McGraw Center for Caring Hospice on March 19, 2022, with his loving wife, Laura, by his side. Tom was born April 13, 1943, in Lake City, Florida, the son of Harold and Frances Bergmann.

Tom graduated from Columbia High School, Class of ’61, where he studied hard, played football, basketball, baseball, ran track and served as Student Council President his senior year. Tom was an intelligent, hard working gentle man graduating from Florida State University in 1965 with a Bachelor of Science degree (with honors – Beta Gamma Sigma and Alpha PSI) majoring in accounting.

Tom’s quietly accomplished and rewarding long professional career began as a CPA joining the firm of Coopers & Lybrand (an international CPA firm). In 1972 he became Vice President and Secretary for Barnett Winston Company (REIT) and affiliated companies. From 1978 until his retirement, Tom was Executive Vice President and Partner of Stokes & Company and all affiliated companies.

A quiet man of few words, it is hard to say which of Tom’s many interests he enjoyed most… just being at home, walking on the beach with Laura, being with friends and family, playing golf with many friends, especially Don and Rob, motorcycles, car races (IMSA, NASCAR, Formula One), or traveling. He and Laura cherished the memories of many opportunities of extensive blissful travels together throughout the U.S. and many foreign countries, marveling at the beauty and blessings of God’s creations.

“So much to say, so little space – In loving thoughts we often reach beyond the range of words”.

A LIFE WELL LIVED – many of you now reading this were a part of it…Thank you.
