Bert Lieberman, the founder of the Morris Furniture Mart in Dayton, Ohio, has died. He was 88.
Bert Lieberman, whose small used furniture store in the Oregon District has grown to become one of the largest privately owned furniture companies in Ohio, died Friday, Dec. 26 at the age of 88.
At his funeral at Beth Jacob Synagogue on Tuesday afternoon, Mr. Lieberman was remembered as a kind and caring boss, a loyal friend, and a loving and generous family man.
Born in Dayton on Nov. 14, 1926, Mr. Lieberman was a World War II veteran who always said that the atomic bomb saved his life: in the summer of 1945, he was in the Philippines with troops preparing to invade Japan.
When he returned from the war, he opened the Morris Furniture Mart in 1947 with his father, Morris Lieberman. The family business — purchased by Mr. Lieberman’s son-in-law, Larry Klaben, in 1998 — has grown over the years to include 11 Morris Home Furnishing stores in the Dayton, Cincinnati and Columbus area.
