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”.
