A great man who displayed wisdom and patience with young managers like me. I always benefited from his visits to the Greif Bros. Corporation locations at LaPorte, Texas and Angleton, Texas. His quiet demeanor, sharp wit, deep knowledge of our business, and sage advice will always stay with me. He impacted my life positively. Thank you Mr. Berg!

A great boss, a great man. To me you will always be a cross between Bud Grant and my dad-both stoic but sincere men. I pray that you and Helen are now together-true love is forever.
