- Berger married Mildred Louise Willmann on 20 Mar 1970 in Mason, Texas.
Berger attended public schools in Texas, graduating from Beeville High School in 1933. He graduated from Texas A&M in 1937. While there he was a member of the livestock judging team. He came to Fayette County to start a vocational agriculture program at Fayetteville High School. He moved to Brenham two years later to start a similar program there. He served in the Army during World War II. After his discharge from the service, he was employed by Carnation Company as manager of Washington County’s first receiving plant. In 1952, he along with his wife and brother-in-law, Lester von Rosenberg, and Lester’s wife, bought the Pontiac, Oldsmobile and International Harvester dealership in La Grange. He remained in that business for 35 years, retiring in 1987.
Berger established a 12th Man Endowed Scholarship at Texas A&M and the Lois von Rosenberg Todd Scholarship benefitting students from La Grange High School. He was an active member of the First United Methodist Church of La Grange. He was also an active Rotarian before moving to La Grange. He helped organize La Grange’s first Rotary Club.
