Robert J. Berger
Robert J. “Bob” Berger, age 67, of Crestline, died Wednesday, May 15, 2013 at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center in Columbus following a brief illness.
Bob was born on March 4, 1946 in Mansfield, Ohio, the son of the late Joseph and Eleanor (Shaum) Berger. He was a 1964 graduate of Plymouth High School, after which he joined the United States Navy serving in Vietnam while being stationed on the U.S.S. Gunstonhall. Bob was the owner and active operator of Berger Family Auto Sales in Shelby which he built and opened himself in 1988.
