Harold "Hal" B. Oberg

Harold “Hal” B. Oberg, 84, of Terryville, husband of Diana (Gorman) Oberg, passed away Thursday, April 16, 2026, at home after a long battle with multiple cancers. He was born December 2, 1941, in Bridgeport, son of the late Benton S. and Eleanor (Nowell) Oberg.

Hal proudly served his country in the US Navy from 1961-1965, serving on multiple submarines, including the Triton SSN586. Upon discharge from the Navy, he was employed by Treadwell Corp. for 46 years, his dream job. He was a parishioner of St. Casimir Church in Terryville, a member of the American Legion Post 20, a coach for Little League, volunteer with the Boy Scouts of America Troop 75 and a member of the Town of Plymouth Recreation Commission. Hal was strong and kind and he loved his family. He was a true golfer. He was proud of his hole-in-one at Crestbrook and especially of playing at Winged Foot Golf Club. He was honored when Treadwell Corp. named their league after him in 2012.

Besides his beloved wife, Diana of 60 years, Hal leaves behind his sons Harold T. Oberg of Galt, CA; and Christopher W. Oberg and his wife Michele of Waterbury, CT; his daughter Kara J. Oberg of Rockaway Park, NY; his brother Robert “Bob” Oberg of RI and sister in law Lyn; his precious granddaughters, Alyssa, Kaitlyn and Lauren Oberg; his niece Stacey and her husband James Blakeney; the mother of his grandchildren Janeene Oberg; his daughter’s friend,  “his favorite daughter,” Ambur Pichette; his friends at Treadwell who remained close after his retirement, in particular Bob Johnson; and his large extended family. He was pre-deceased by his brother Leonard, his nephew Ben, and his mother-in-law Joan, who he was especially close to.

Hal’s family would like to thank the many healthcare providers who valued Hal’s health and priorities, especially Dr. Glenn Gart, Dr. Saima Pasha, Dr. Joseph Marakovits, Dr. Ryan Dorin, Dr. Wylie Hosmer, Dr. Rainer Bagdasarian, Dr. Robert Black, Dr. Hanspaul Makkar, Michele Barry, APRN, and Dr. Charles Robinson, who was also his good friend. The TAVR team at St. Francis moved mountains for Hal. Our special thanks also goes to the staff of G South at Bristol Hospital, especially Angie, Cherrelle, Ron, Deidre, Shania, Millie and Orla, and to the Bristol Health Homecare and Hospice teams.
