Charles G. Berger

Charles Glen Berger, known to all as Glen, died July 30, 2000, at the age of 83. He was born in Hagerstown, Md., in 1916.

His mother died when he was 5 and the family moved to Oregon, where he attended public schools and Oregon State University. He worked in logging, steel, trucking and retail jobs until moving to Los Angeles in 1940.

He met his wife of 53 years, Virginia Nu?ez, while they were employed as machinists at Lockheed Aircraft during World War II. The family grew to include three children in the next 10 years. During that time, he worked at Lockheed during the night and as a tile and marble setter during the day to support his family.

The family moved to Davis in 1959, where the children attended Davis public schools and Glen worked for Fisher Tile Co. in Sacramento. In 1973, he became a licensed contractor and was self-employed in and around Davis until his retirement in 1981.

He will be remembered for his love of his family, his signature pride in his trade, his membership and service in the Davis Lions Club, his love of woodworking and gardening and for his wisdom, which was often delivered in the form of humorous observation based on decades of bemused marveling at human excess and folly.

Glen is survived by his wife, Virginia; brother, Robert of The Dalles, Ore.; daughter, Kathryn Muhs; two sons, Paul of Seattle and Richard of Oakland; two grandchildren, Sam and Alea Muhs; and a nephew, Tim Connolly of Washington, D.C.

Arrangements for the funeral are under the direction of the Davis Funeral Chapel.

The family requests that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the Davis Lutheran Church, 317 E. Eighth St., in Davis.
