Berman Family ‘Overwhelmed' by Love, Sympathy

Messages of sympathy and support for the family of ESPN sportscaster Chris Berman have been coming in from across the country after his wife was killed in a crash and the family has released a statement, saying they are overwhelmed by the outpouring. 

Berman’s 67-year-old wife, Katherine Berman, of Cheshire, and Edward Bertulis, 87, of Waterbury, were killed in a two-car crash in Woodbury Tuesday

“We are overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and sympathy from so many folks we know, and so many others we look forward to knowing. Kathy Berman had a huge heart, and this would have warmed hers beyond belief. It certainly warmed ours. All of us need to keep the family of Edward Bertulis in our thoughts and prayers as well,” Chris Berman and his children, Meredith and Doug, said in a statement ESPN released. 

The couple had been married for 33 years and the tragic crash happened the day before Chris Berman’s 62nd birthday.

The family of Edward Bertulis said he was returning from the cemetery, where he visited his late wife every day since she passed away last year, when the crash happened.
