Bill will be remembered for his kindness, devotion to family, and the countless lives he touched throughout his 95 years. He will be dearly missed but forever in our hearts.
Joseph D. Berger says
Bill Berger was a great Dad. He always came to my Little League games, even got roped into being an umpire, taught me Bass fishing, and showed up to my high school football games. He was an amazing machinist with his own shop, made prototype oil pumps out of aluminum for Harley-Davidson in the late ‘80s. He could fix anything around the house. I’m glad he has got to live a long life.
Carol (Berger) Morrison says
