He loved motorcycles and going with friends to motorcycle swap meets.
He had a sign in his office, "HONEST LAWYER - ONE FLIGHT UP" 'Honest' is certainly how I will remember him. Beryl was my friend from the first time I met him in 1974
When reading Civil War histories from the Wayne Library, each time I encounter a corner of a page folded, I know Beryl had been there before me and read the book. He remembered what he read! What a mind he had.
RIP Beryl. You will be missed!!!!
