Not sure what to say?

I am most appreciative of Dr. Barryman´s exacting manner in teaching Bach´s organ literature.

I was searching the web and discovered this listing for Dr. Warren Berryman. I was an organ and church music student of his during my undergraduate years at Baldwin-Wallace in the early 60s. A good teacher and wonderful friend. Rest in Peace Dr. Berryman.

"Really liked to hear his stories about World War II!" - I believe my father was in the service with Dr. B. We love retelling those stories at XMAS time. May you find comfort in his memories.

I was also an organ student under the teaching of Dr. Berryman at Baldwin Wallace College. Lessons were enjoyable, he was a very understanding man so full of life. I will always remember how quickly he walked around campus and how supportive he was through the preparation of my senior recital. My sympathies are with your family, he will be greatly missed.

I have great memories of Dr. Berryman. I studied organ with him at Baldwin Wallace College. Really liked to hear his stories about World War II!
I enjoyed substituting for him on the organ of Lakewood Presbyterian Church. Will really miss him! Lots of great memories!

My amazing, wonderful professor who, along with his family, allowed me to call them my friends - an honor.

I was saddened to hear of Dr. Berryman's passing. When I was 12 years old, I had Dr. Berryman as my organ teacher for many years. Then, I enjoyed being his organ student for 4 years while I attended B-W. He came to my wedding and was not only a teacher but a mentor and friend. My heartfelt sympathy to Mrs. Berryman his family.

A church service with Warren at the keyboard became a continuance song of praise. We were blessed to have him for our worship services.

Warren was a gentle man, a caring tutor and an exceptional musician. He had a ready smile, a twinkle in his eye and a song in his heart - someone who lingers in memory.
