TO EXPRESS THE PROFOUND SORROW OF THE MEMBERS OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA SENATE UPON THE PASSING OF HARRY GENE BERRY OF BLYTHEWOOD AND TO EXTEND THE DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO HIS FAMILY AND MANY FRIENDS.

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina Senate were saddened to learn of the death of Harry Gene Berry of Blythewood on March 8, 2013, at the age of sixty-nine; and

Whereas, born in Blythewood on September 10, 1943, he was a son of the late Jesse Lee Berry and Dessie Fulmer Berry; and

Whereas, while growing up, the young Harry played on the Eau Claire High School football team and graduated from that institution; and

Whereas, the president and co-owner of B&W Lumber Company, Harry Berry was also a man of faith, and he expressed that faith as a lifelong member of Killian Baptist Church; and

Whereas, Mr. Berry was predeceased by his beloved wife of forty-seven years, Emily Goodale Berry; his parents; a sister, June Gantt; a brother, J.L. Berry; and a brother-in-law, Jimmy Goodale. He leaves to cherish his memory his daughter, Marie Berry; two sisters, Faye (Tom) Byrd and Libby (Furman) Mattox; a brother, Steve (Toni) Berry; three sisters-in-law, Renée Berry, Carolyn (James) Key, and Betty Goodale; many nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews; and a dear friend, Kathy Lee. He will be missed. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate:

That the members of the South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, express their profound sorrow upon the passing of Harry Gene Berry of Blythewood and extend the deepest sympathy to his family and many friends.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be provided to Marie Berry for the family.
