He could sale dirty socks back to the homeless and raise the price. He had the kindest heart and was a dedicated father, son, and grandfather. He was not afraid to speak his mind to anyone at any time. Although he was loud and expressive, you always knew his opinion came from a place of love and concern.

He will always be remembered for his cooking, telling jokes for those over 18, while bringing laughter to whoever came in contact with him. He also was a “give you his shirt off his back” kind of guy, and if you made him angry you would hear one of his famous sayings “You miserable bastard”!!!

Grandchildren Micheal Berkowitz, and Brendon Berkowitz, great grandfather to Iyana Berkowitz and Michael L Berkowitz. Kim Berkowitz daughter in law married to Merrel Berkowitz, Pryah Lebron fiancé to Michael Berkowitz, and Francesca Anderson who he treated like a daughter and his nieces and a host of family members and dear friends.
