Dr. Berger was my pediatrician. I randomly thought of him today and I am sad to see he is no longer with us. I have so many memories of his jokes when I would visit the office. My favorite joke was "Are you married?" when i was only 5/6 years old LOL. Thank you Dr. Berger for the great experiences and memories

Ted, I am so very sorry to hear about your brother. I never had a brother, but I know that the bond that exists between brothers is one of the strongest known to man. I know you miss him. Carry him in your heart, that's where he lives now. Continue to do the things you know he would enjoy and -- when you do -- you will know his presence. Above all, celebrate a great life.

Ted:
I was very sorry to hear about your brother. I have fond memories of always seeing and talking to hin at Willow Grove shows and all of the Nationals. We had many great conversations about his Mays and you. I know through our chats over the years he was very proud of you. I will miss seeing him.
