Mr. Berry, please be advised that Don passed away this summer. As she was going through his effects, Don’s sister Cathy came across a letter you sent to him in May 2004. You were trying to get in touch with him. I suspect he did not respond. Don did not discuss the war very much. He split his time after the war living in Ft. Myers FL and Oxford OH where he passed away. He obtained a degree from Miami U. in Oxford, and worked many different types of jobs. He was married once for a short period of time. Don was a friend of mine for over 40 years. He is survived by 4 sisters who all live in FL. His sisters were touched by the kind things you said about Don in your letter.
I hope you receive this message and will pass on the information to any others who knew Don.
Sincerely,
Terry Stutts
Oxford, OH
