He was the son of Melvin G. and Mary A. (Link) Berry. He married Lynette 'Lyn' Ritchie, who survives. Also surviving are a daughter, Heather Elizabeth Berry, Elida; three stepdaughters: Jennifer (Jay) Schwartz, Spencerville, Aimee (Derek) Gesler, Wapakoneta, and Stephanie (Joey) Cox, Lima; and twelve grandchildren. Deceased is a sister linked below. His career in law spanned over 40 years and included stints in private practice and teaching real estate law. He retired in 2012 from the Allen County Prosecutor's office, where he served as Chief Assistant Prosecutor. His passion for a career he loved so much saw him helping with grand jury cases as recently as a week before his battle ended. Known to be a gruff man, he never mixed words and never left doubts where he stood on an issue. He loved a good trial and always stood firm for victim's rights. He was tough in the courtroom, but was considered a gentle giant to those he loved and knew him best. He was a master organizer of criminal cases, traffic court magistrate for the village of Elida, and a frequent mentor to many young prosecutors in the area. He graduated from Elida High School, Goshen College and the Ohio Northern University Pettit College of Law. He lived a fulfilling life that included many hobbies. He had a passion for restoring and collecting vintage motorcycles and Cushman scooters, and riding his Harley Davidson. He loved photography and developed a refined talent for making stained glass lamps. An avid outdoorsman, he enjoyed fishing and hunting. He was an expert marksman and loved to target shoot and archery. After retirement, he and his wife spent several winters in Naples, Florida, enjoying the warm weather and relaxation. He also loved antiques, reading, working in the garden with his wife, and traveling to Michigan and out west. At home, he was a gourmet chef that delighted many with his talents. He loved to entertain family, friends, and guests. Services will be at Chiles-Laman Funeral and Cremation Services, Shawnee Chapel, with Juergen Waldick officiating. Entombment of cremains will take place at a later date in Gethsemani Cemetery.
