Later Years
From 1972 to 2010, Bergman trained his son, Sherman Bergman in boxing and kickboxing. The younger Bergman posted a 17-4-0 (17 knockouts) amateur boxing record, and a 57-8-1 (57 knockouts) kickboxing record.
In 1980, Bergman wrote an article entitled: It Happened To Me, for Soldier of Fortune Magazine; recalling his experiences on Furcoli Ridge in which his actions earned him the Silver Star Medal.
Hank Bergman lived with his wife and son in retirement in the North Beach section of Miami Beach, Florida, and was active in community service.
Bergman became involved with the pop-tab recycling campaign to support the Ronald McDonald House in Miami, Florida. The McDonald House provides comfort, support, and housing to families that have seriously ill children being treated in area hospitals. According to three Miami Herald newspaper reports, since 2004, Bergman personally collected over 25,000 pop-tabs to aid the campaign.

Famous quotes containing the word years:
“So here I am, in the middle way, having had twenty years—
Twenty years largely wasted, the years of l’entre deux guerres—
Trying to learn to use words, and every attempt
Is a wholly new start, and a different kind of failure....”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“Mily: You must remember me!?
Tadeusz: I never remember pretty women. It’s so expensive.
My friend, after twenty thousand years murder is still a business that’s mainly in the hands of amateurs.”
—Orson Welles (1915–1985)
