Meta, all the children and grandchildren, miles and sally, and bob:



I remember from as far back as football at Latin School, where we lined up next to each other, I was a guard and he was a tackle.



Through all the years in Highland Park, and through all the things we did together socially and in a business way, I always numbered Ron among the good guys, one of the few.



My most sincere condolences on the loss of a wonderful husband, father, brother and my friend.

To The Berger Family:

I'm so sad to hear of Ron's passing.

I worked for the Berger Family for many years and have always fondly remembered a conversation that Ron had with Jonathan. Ron called Jonathan to discuss business and as the conversation reached a close Jonathan listened carefully and said " I love you too, Dad"

I remember thinking how wonderful that a father would end a conversation with an adult child with "I love you. Ron's death is a tragic loss and I wish you strength through this difficult time. Lynne Tipton-Munro
