Carl G. Berger, leader in cigar industry
Carl G. Berger made a name for himself as a cigar manufacturer and tobacco grower. But his priority was also with his family, said longtime friend Louis Prince.
"He was through-and-through a family man," Prince said. "They always came first."
Mr. Berger died Sunday at his home in Indian Hill. He was 86.
Mr. Berger had been president of the John Berger & Son Co., founded in 1854 by his grandfather. The company is a grower and packer of cigar leaf tobacco with South Windsor Farms in Connecticut. It owned one of the oldest and largest tobacco warehouses in Pennsylvania and was an importer of Cuban, Puerto Rican and Sumatran tobacco.
Under Mr. Berger's leadership, the company grew to include cigar manufacturing. He was chairman of the board of the National Cigar Corp. in Frankfort, Ind., and Superior Wholesale Distributors, formerly the R.G. Dun Cigar Corp., in Lima, Ohio.
Mrs. Berger was a longtime board member of the Cigar Manufacturers Association of America and the American Cigar Institute, as well as a member of the Cigar Research Council.
"I came to admire Carl for his qualities and looked up to him as a man who was a worthy person to emulate," Prince said.
Mr. Berger was a member of the Camargo and Queen City clubs. He served for many years as a whip, and later joint master, of the Camargo Hunt.
He was an avid rider whose horses were frequent winners in the Midwest Steeplechase Circuit. He won the Kentucky Hunt Cup six times.
He was a member of St. Gertrude Church in Madeira and was a lifelong participant at the Milford Spiritual Center.
He leaves his wife, Martha Louise Horstman; son, Carl Berger Jr. of Lima; daughters, Martha Bronson of Cambridge, Mass., Nancy Groll of Encinitas, Calif., Patricia Lisi of San Marcos, Calif., Laura Brecht of Phoenix, Md., and Amy Berger of Cincinnati; nine grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.
