St. George--John Berry was familiar
to those involved in the scouting movement between the 1940s and 1965.
Former scout leader Steve Campbell this week paid tribute to Berry
who died at the Saint John Regional Hospital Tuesday at the age of 78 following
a period of failing health. Guides, Scouts, and Cubs who went to the scout
camp at Lake Utopia will remember Berry with a great deal of fondness,
said Campbell. Those going to camp would arrive at Connors beach by car
and Berry would take them across to the camp in his boat. “John would take
them all out in his boat. He did that for 20 to 25 years from 1940 up until
about 1965.As long as he was there it went on. Cubs would come from Blacks
Harbour or Scouts from St. Stephen--they all went on John Berry’s boat
and he would take care of them. The Scouts, Cubs and Guides loved him and
he was always there to help them out day or night. Everybody involved in
scouting knew him and he did that for over 20 years.” Born in Yarmouth,
N. S., Berry was a son of the late Freeman and Hilda (Jones) Berry. He
was employed as a janitor and caretaker for various employers, including
Connors Bros. Limited, for over 40 years. Many will remember him as the
caretaker of the Lake Utopia amusement park and the scout camp. During the
Second World War he served with the Canadian Army Reserve. Berry was also
a ring announcer for local wrestling matches in Black’s Harbour and St.
Stephen. He was active in the local CB Club and with Vocational Plus. He
was predeceased by his wife Lillian (Farley) Berry and is survived by three
sons--John Jr., Robert and Richard, six grandchildren, one great grandson,
one sister and two brothers. A Legion tribute was held Wednesday evening
and the funeral took place Thursday morning at St. George’s Roman Catholic
Church.
