On the morning of June 7, 1937 when he came down for breakfast he told my grandmother that he had a terrible dream and felt like he should pack his bags and go home. My grandmother told him that he should go home. However, he chose to go to work that day. He was struck by a crane and fell to his death. My mother and her four siblings called him 'Berry'. They were very fond of him. The grandmother attended his funeral.
