Dr. Berryman was my teacher, mentor and friend during the late 1960s and early 1970s. He was a virtuoso with a wonderful musical mind. He left a mark on my life which only a few have. I love him dearly and will never forget him. He was a truly rare individual. I will always remember him for his support. After I got married and established my career as a composer-arranger-pianist, he was my biggest fan. We loved his visits to our home where we played and fellowshipped. I wish I could tell him...

I sang for Dr. Berrryman while a student at U of M 1985-87. A musician of the highest order and I was thrilled to be part of his choir.

Dr. Berryman played for my wedding in 1986. He left to play for another wedding and came back with his wife for the reception. He was my husband's organ instructor at Northwestern College. What a wonderful, loving and generous man. He was a man with God's heart. He will be greatly missed.

Edward Berryman was a freind of my grandfather, Ralph Strom 1901-1977, (Gustavus Adolphus organist 1945-1975). They were both involved in the AGO together for many years. Blessings to the family.

With special love to Maria, Warren and his family, and Rudy's family. And Maria's family for bringing the wonderful dimension of caring "kids" to Ed's life.

We, too, loved him dearly and we are so much richer for the sharing of his life and our lives.
