Berger, 86, a long-time resident of Ionia, passed away at his home in Haines City, Florida, on Friday, Oct. 25, 2002. He was born in Jenison on April 5, 1916. In 1938, following in his father’s footsteps, Ned opened an automobile dealership in Ionia, which became Berger Motor Sales in 1940. It continues to be a family dealership today. He married Lenore Richardson in 1936. They were married for 65 years until her death in 2001. Ned’s favorite pastime was golf (he had eight holes-in-one) and Lenore became an accomplished golfer, also. Over the years they enjoyed many friendships around the country from their love of the game. Ned is survived by three children: his son, Ned, Jr. and two daughters, Diane Fosnow, of Debary, Fla., and Deborah Sands of Naples, Fla. He is also survived by six grandchildren. Respecting his wishes there will be no service held. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to First Presbyterian Church in Ionia or Good Shepherd Hospice, 105 Arneson Ave., Auburndale, Fla. 33823.
