My heartfelt condolences to the Berger Family. I worked for Ira for 13 years at Investors Title. He was an amazing, compassionate person. I enjoyed all the years I works for him and have fantastic memories of our after work outings. He was not only quick witted but he was also able to be at the receiving end of a joke which made him so loveable.
Although I have not seen Ira in many years I will forever cherish my relationship and time with him. I am a better person for having known him.
Rest in Peace Ira
