Roland Lemberg, iron worker, devoted dad
Roland 'Yogi' Lemberg picked up his unusual nickname while serving in the Navy during World War II.
'It has to do with the Yogis, who are holy people. I'm not sure how he got it. It just developed,' said a son, Charles Lemberg of Alexandria.
Roland Lemberg, 75, of Newport, died at 3:45 p.m. Tuesday at his home.
He was a retired iron worker with SOFCO Inc. in Cincinnati, a member of Iron Workers Union Local No. 44 in Cincinnati and a Navy veteran. His wife, Louise O'Conner Lemberg, died in 1992.
Charles Lemberg recalls his father as a man of strong beliefs who fought for the betterment of his children.
In fact, Mr. Lemberg started a neighborhood Scout troop when Charles didn't have a troop to join.
'He's always done whatever he could to help kids accomplish what they wanted to accomplish,' Charles Lemberg said.
'He revived the troop at St. Francis DeSales Parish in Newport. He always cared about children.'
After Charles Lemberg graduated from college, his father welcomed his son back into his home to help Charles obtain his law degre e from Chase College of Law at Northern Kentucky University.
'Without his assistance, I'd probably have never gotten the education that I received,' Charles Lemberg said. 'He has always gone out of his way to help his kids. He and my mother were both that way.'
