A Good Thought for Earll and the Berry Family. I first met Earl when we both worked for Judge Dempsey. I echo Dr. Pelia. Earl Berry was indeed a Good Man.

I've known Earl for over 50 years and can honestly say he had the most pleasant disposition of any man I've known, always smiling, always cheerful and always willing to help in any way that he could. My prayers are with you Frances, Francine, Earl,Jr. and Gregory. The world needs more Earl Berry's.
