John Basden Berry

24.6.1919 to 21.7.2006

It is with regret that we record the passing of John Berry. A condolence card was sent on behalf of the CSPS.

John joined the Society in 1969 and by 1976 had became a Council member, serving until poor health in 2003, when resignation was given. During this time on Council, the guidance and knowledge imparted was sound and excellent.

He was a collector of Australian stamps and submitted books for the circuits. John had many other hobbies but his other main one was connected with his local church, where at one time he was one of the main pillars and held various posts.
John will be missed by his many friends. A Service of Thanksgiving was held and our Society was represented.

John leaves Margaret (his better half), two sons, a daughter and grandchildren. Our condolences go to them.

(At the start of the September meeting, Members stood for a minute in silence in memory of John. Ed.)
