James Ebert, age 93, of Rockville, MD, passed away on Monday, October 19 surrounded by his children. Jim graduated from Central High and Columbus University, and served in the Pacific during WWII as a Tech Sergeant in the US Army. Prior to enlisting , he married the love of his life, Rhoda Fine, Miss Takoma Park 1943. He joined District Grocery Stores as an office boy, and served for 20+ years as chief accountant and office manager - affectionately known by all as "Mr. DGS."
He loved local sports -- the Wheaton High School Knights, the Washington Redskins and his beloved Washington Senators, and he loved playing tennis. Gregarious and generous, he never met a stranger - all became friends.
