Myron Gerald Myers

12/14/1942 - 10/24/2025

Myron Gerald Myers passed away on October 24, 2025, at the age of 82. He was born in Providence, Rhode Island on December 14, 1942 to Reuben and Harriet Myers. Myron was the older of two children. He attended Hope High School in Providence, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, and Brown University, where he achieved a Ph.D. in Economics.
When he was 21, he married the love of his life, Susan Kransberg, and they were constant companions until his passing. They first settled in Providence while he attended Brown, then in New Jersey where he taught economics at Rutgers University from 1968 to 1973, and ultimately in Potomac, MD, where they raised their two daughters, Lisa and Jennifer.
Myron served as a Staff Economist on the President's Council of Economic Advisers and worked for the U.S. Department of Commerce, the Inter-American Development Bank, and the World Bank. He spent most of his career consulting at LMI (Logistics Management Institute), where he was the Director of the Acquisition Research Program, leading studies of government contractors that resulted in major revisions to federal business practices. He was a patient and thoughtful leader, finding great joy in mentoring young professionals and empowering everyone he worked with.
After he retired from LMI in 2005, Myron and Susan split time between Boynton Beach, Florida, and Potomac, Maryland. He loved to play tennis and golf, travel with Susan, watch the Red Sox and the stock market, and find fine wines, great bourbon, and good food. He especially beamed with pride witnessing his grandchildren's achievements.
Myron was a brave fighter until the end. He battled a rare form of thyroid cancer for almost 20 years. He was proud, worked hard to remain independent, and never complained once.
Myron is survived by his loving and dedicated wife, Susan Myers (nee Kransberg); their beloved daughters, Lisa Myers Burman and Jennifer (Les) Bookoff; and his four adoring grandchildren, Danielle Burman, Taylor Burman, Emma Bookoff, and Luke Bookoff. He was predeceased by his devoted parents, Reuben and Harriet Myers, and his beloved sister Gayle Sock.
