St. Vincent-St. Mary will honor long-time former BJ pressroom
worker Bob Berdis on Friday, October 1 as their Fighting Irish Superfan.
Ken Krause, a BJ retiree, tipped me off with this:
It will be Bob Berdis Night at Green Street Stadium Friday,
October 1, when St. Vincent-St. Mary High School honors their “Fighting Irish
Superfan,” a former longtime Beacon Journal press room worker. Though not a
graduate of St. Vincent, St. Mary, or St. V-M (where his son was in the Class
of 1989), Bob has been a longtime St. V-M Athletic Booster Club member and a
constant presence at Irish sporting events, home or away. He will be honored
before the St. V-M football game against Youngstown Ursuline.
Some BJ folks might also remember Bob as one of the standout
bowlers in the Akron Allied Printcraft League.
Bob’s wife, Syvia
Jean Berdis, passed away in 2012 at the age of 75. They lived in Norton and the
funeral service was held in Doylestown.
Bob was extremely
active St. V-M Athletic Booster Club member, as the Superfan honor indicates.
