On October 13, 1947 the union of Archie B. (Lindsay) and L.E. Berry was blessed with their fourth son Kenneth Ray Berry. Kenny graduated from Roosevelt High School. He was Honorably Discharged from the United States Army after serving in Vietnam and receiving a Bronze Star for Heroism. After serving, he worked for years and retired from Jenn Air and Whirlpool.
