Robin Berry
ATLANTA, GA-- Robin Berry, 75, died Wednesday, August 8, 2012 in Atlanta, GA, with his family by his side. A celebration of his life will be held Sunday, August 12, 2012 from 1:00-4:00 PM at Cherokee Town Club, 155 W Paces Ferry Rd NW, Atlanta, GA 30305.
Robin Reid Berry, the son of James and Carrie Berry, was born July 11, 1937 in Augusta, GA. During World War II, the Berry family moved to Union, SC, where Rob grew up and became an Eagle Scout and member of the Order of the Arrow. He graduated with honors from Clemson University with a degree in Mechanical Engineering and worked briefly for Northrup and Lockheed. After leaving Lockheed, he earned a Masters in Business Administration from the University of South Carolina.
Rob eventually moved to Atlanta and met the love of his life, Sandra McLees. They married in 1968 and had four children. After beginning his career in real estate, Rob and Fred Freyer formed Berry & Freyer Land Company. Rob later established R. R. Berry Realtors, a real estate development company, where he developed and owned several apartment buildings, office and retail buildings around the Atlanta area and in Anderson, SC.
Rob's many hobbies included woodworking and exercise. He was a talented artist who handcrafted numerous masterpieces, such as his beautiful Windsor chairs, musical instruments, children's toys and the beloved family screened porch. Rob passed his creativity on to his children and helped them make several of their own projects in his basement wood shop. Always a strong believer in fitness, Rob played both golf and tennis throughout his adult life. But his biggest passion (other than ice cream) was spending time with his family.
Rob is survived by his wife, Sandra Berry; his four children and their spouses: Bonnie and Nick Kavali, Katy Berry, Brandon Berry, Jim and Julia Berry; his grandchildren: Sydney and Hayley Buckley, Reid Berry, Jack and Colt Kavali; sister Barbara Peterson, brothers Jimmy Berry and Peter Berry; and a home full of his treasured wooden creations.
