Condolences

Thoughts and prayers for the family of Dr. Dave Berry, honorary KARC member and friend to the area car scene. Dave passed away October 31st.

 

Charlie Ball provided the following tribute to Doc Berry:

 

Tribute to David Berry

On October 31, KARC and all car enthusiasts lost a great friend and supporter of the antique automotive community, Pharmacist David Berry.

Dave was a founding member of the Dan’l Boone Region of AACA (Antique Automobile Club of America ) and a Honorary member of KARC for many years.

His ’35 LaSalle cabriolet and ’36 Ford cabriolet were registration numbers 1 and 2 at our shows for years.

He was also the “driving force” at the annual Allandale Car Show  and  Kingsport’s Fun Fest Car Show until the past few years.

Dave was regarded as a walking encyclopedia on cars, license plates, antique toys, and any other topic his fellow car enthusiasts were curious about.  All this, in addition to his vast knowledge of the pharmaceuticals he dealt with for 50 years.

Whether you happened across him at a car event or at Berry’s Pharmacy, Dave always recognized everybody. Not only would he inquire “how are you doing”, but also, how’s your family doing?

One of the most generous, friendly people in Kingsport, he was always up for a ride around Kingsport to see what was going on!  He liked to be kept up to date with everybody’s projects and would always ask about them -

      “What are you working on…

      “Who has a car we can go see…”

      “When’s the next car show…”

      “I’m going to Hershey, can I bring anything back for you…”

Dave Berry was a great friend and who will be greatly missed by all.

                          Rest in peace, dear friend.

 

Special Thank You from the Berry family and Charlie, to Dick Cartwright for always bringing the golf cart or his scooter to the car shows for “Doc”.
