In 1960, Bergan married Maureen Myersohn, who later changed her name to Catriona. They lived primarily in London. They had a son, though they were impoverished at his birth and could not raise him, and so they arranged to have him adopted and raised by Myersohn's mother, who lived in
Rhodesia, now
Zimbabwe. The couple briefly separated in the early 1980s but reconciled. However, in the early 2000s, after Bergan's stint at Florida International University in the United States, they moved to
Biarritz, France, and then
Prague, Czechoslovakia. In 2020, Bergan and his wife moved to Scotland. He died on 23 July 2020, aged 82, from urosepsis. == Bibliography ==
