Charlie was well liked by everyone who knew him. He was famous for his joke telling and had one ready for every occasion. His word was his bond and was as good as any signed piece of paper. He always spoke about the good in people and never about the bad. Many times he spoke about the epitaph written on his fathers grave marker. To live in the hearts you leave behind is not to die. For those of us who knew and loved him Charles Berry will never die. Charlie was born August 11, 1915, in Rector, Arkansas and resided in Kern County for 65 years. He was a shipping and receiving clerk for 35 years with Valley Office Supply. He was preceded in death by his son, Larry W. Berry; sister, Laura Eaton; and brother, Ebert Berry.
