Not sure what to say?

Dennis Berry was a long time friend who we first met through a common interest in the Greyhound Racing at MKC. We would buy our meat from Dennis for our Greyhounds at his Original Steer Market. He was so much fun to be around as he was funny and yet always just a good guy ! I will miss him so much ! Hopefully we shall meet again.

What a wonderful Uncle! We miss you

I sat next to Dennis for over 20 years at the Blazer games. Humble generosity. Smart. Kind. I´m sure he is missed by many. Including me. Mitch Killian

I called him "Uncie" when I was a small child. He was the only adult that would come and play with us kids at big family celebrations. I would go to his meat market throughout my life to say hi and he always had the best beef jerky and the biggest smile and hugs. He was a great father to his girls and a great uncle to us. He was a great man.

Every time I look at Dennis´s photo I get so sad. He was such a good man I always liked talking to him, jeff

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived. ted & joyce ar chain saw

I worked for Dennis when I was in high school 1970, he was the best person to work for and the people that worked for Dennis were great, I liked working there so much, I will never forget it and I will never forget about Dennis he was well liked. That was 54 years ago, Jeff Hamblin Santa Rosa Calif

He was a wonderful man and father. I am grateful he shared his life with so many. Love to your family

I met Dennis Berry when I was 17 looking for a job. He tolerated me for many years. I don't know how or why but time went by he went from a boss to a mentor and a very good friend. I will miss him stopping by the shop to either compliment or harassment me. I will think of him every time I walk into the market.
