Proud grandfather of 11 and great-grandfather of five. Dear brother to the late Milton Berz, Julia Logan, Emily Siwula and the late George Berz. Treasured friend to June and Bob Beers, Bob Carla and many more. He lived his life to the fullest and will be sadly missed. Theodore Berz specialized in the field of aviation during his entire life from his first flight as a child in his mother's Aeronca tube-and-fabric tailwheel aircraft to flying sleek corporate jets. Over the years Ted provided extraordinary flight training to individuals seeking basic to advanced certificates/ratings. He was passionate about the safety of flight and went above and beyond to ensure student comprehension, meticulous performance to standards and attention to detail in each and every flight. He won trophies in several flight races. He enjoyed playing hockey in his younger years and also enjoyed playing golf. He was a Master Gardener, member of the Experimental Aviation Association Chapter 908 and volunteered in the Sheriff's "Citizens on Patrol" Program. Ted will be remembered as a fine gentleman who genuinely cared about people. He devoted his final years in South Florida to continuing the learning process, volunteerism and giving back to the community.
