Berlins small town claim to fame was in 1977 when he was the “Star” of Smokey and The Bandit where he acted out the part as the tow truck driver. Of all of the amazing things that Berlin was a part of in his lifetime, he would mostly like to be remembered as an amazing Father, Grandfather, and Great Grandfather and a man of God.
