Frederick Harold Berry
October 28, 1921 — April 16, 2014
Frederick Harold Berry, 92, died April 16, 2014 in his Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin home surrounded by family. A native of West Monroe, Louisiana, Fred was born on October 29, 1921 to Annabelle and Frederick J. Berry. He graduated from Ouachita Parish High School in 1941 before entering the United States Army in 1942 for which he served in the South Pacific during World War II. After an honorable discharge in 1946, Fred pursued a career in the oil, gas, and aerospace industry. During his retirement he stayed involved in his community as a Master Mason at West Monroe Masonic Lodge No. 419 and as a member of the Bossier City Lions Club. He also took great pride in his work to support Louisiana Camp Victory, a camp for children with disabilities.
Aside from his charitable work, Fred was also quite the charmer and proudly wore the title of a true southern gentleman. Later in life Fred received his master gardeners license and thoroughly enjoyed working in his garden and occasionally riding his beloved Cub Cadet to Wal-mart for groceries. He was a talented lecturer and his grandchildren will always remember to enjoy a bowl of homemade ice cream when discussing the importance of not eating between meals. Also a talented chef, Fred loved preparing fried catfish, oven-toasted Reubens, and homemade bread for anyone with an appetite.
He was preceded in death by his sweetheart of 51 years, Dr. Bobbie June Clayton Berry in 2005, and sister, Marteal Webb and brother, Trell Berry, Sr.
Fred is survived by one daughter Charlotte Anne Berry Naff and husband Edward A Naff, of Dubach, Louisiana and two sons Gary Rodney Berry and wife Sue, of Benton, Arkansas and Frederick Clayton Berry and wife Carol of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, seven grandchildren Kimberly Paubert of Tennessee, Milly McIntyre of Louisiana, Ammy Naff of California, Joey Naff of Louisiana, Allison Berry of New York, Kathleen Berry of Indiana, and Frederick S. Berry of Indiana. Also, Fred had eight great-grandchildren and two great-great-grandchildren.
Service will be on Tuesday, April 22, 2014, at 11:00 a.m. at Ralph Buckner Funeral Home in Cleveland Tennessee. Interment will follow in Sunset Memorial Gardens. Pall bearers are Edward Naff, Frederick S. Berry, Brian Herber, Matthew Clayton, Mikel Harris, and Clayton Harris.
The family will receive friends from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. Tuesday at the funeral home prior to the service.
