Berry's family, I am so sorry for your loss, I haven't seen Barry in over 6 or 7 years at the store playing his numbers, he stated to me give me some numbers to play and I did, I told him I wanted half if he won. I wonder did he win anything. Berry was a very nice guy and yes he was funny, friendly. My prayers goes out to the family, may father God give you the strength you will need to get through this time of sadness.
