Deaths

Uri Berman Born March 7, 1929 in Haifa, Israel, Uri died at home surrounded by his family in Palo Alto March 19, 2007. He is survived by his wife of 56 years, Jackie Berman, sons David, and wife Celine, Daniel and wife Reiko, grandchildren Charlie, Melanie and Karina, brother, Zvili Berman, and sister, Bobbie Krull. Uri’s love of his family was ever present and he will be greatly missed by them. Uri was a pioneer in the computer industry. In the mid-1960’s he developed a computer data base system known as DL1 for the Apollo mission, which became the basis for IBM’s Information Management System (IMS,) and was used by most of this country’s large corporations. Although Uri immigrated to America as a child, he maintained a strong connection to his family in Israel. Uri was a modest man with a wry sense of humor whose work and family brought him satisfaction and pleasure. Funeral services were held Friday, March 23, at Hills of Eternity Memorial Park. Donations in his memory may be made to the Institute for Curriculum Services project of the Jewish Community Relations Council in San Francisco or Congregation Beth Am in Los Altos Hills.
