Frank James Forest Berry's Obituary
Frank James Forest Berry, (57) of Epping, NH died peacefully shortly after a cancer diagnosis in the loving presence of his family at Exeter Hospital at 6:30 am on August 9, 2018. He will be remembered as a proud business owner who was an important mentor and confidante to his employees. Frank’s greatest joy was time spent with his beloved grandson Jacob (9). He was an avid hobbyist who relished a day during which he could tinker with and drive one of the three Harley Davidsons he named for each of his sisters along the New England seacoast. In his down-time, he enjoyed Spaghetti Westerns, Perry Mason, collecting and fixing vintage automobiles, NASCAR, and trips to the New England Dragway with his grandson, Jacob. He adored his best friend Jake, a German Sheperd/Huskie.
