A chance mention on CFRB Tuesday night led me to the very surprising answer to the question "whatever happened to the Fan's Howard Berger?" He spent more than two decades covering hockey on 590, before he disappeared.

So where is he now? 

You may not believe what he describes on his Linked-In page as his "second career." He's an assistant to a funeral director for one of Toronto's largest Jewish funeral homes, although he claims he still keeps his hands in the sports field every now and then.

Obviously, I'm late to this info, because there was a feature article on this in the Toronto Star last June. Not trying to make fun of him, because it's a very legitimate and necessary job. But what a shift in what you do for a living!

Although, in this case, sadly, it's not always about the living.
