My sincere condolences to the friends and family of Don Berger. I remember Don and his brothers from Holy Cross high school, when his family lived across the street from 8th District school. Don was a year ahead of me at Holy Cross, and his brother Tom was three years behind me. He was a good guy. May he rest in peace.
