Louin grew up on Lake Worth and was a proud graduate of North Side High School, class of 1954. He attended Texas Wesleyan College and transferred to McMurry University in Abilene where he majored in History and Philosophy. He attended Perkins School of Theology in Dallas.
Louin and Barbara met in 1954 when each was awarded a scholarship to attend summer Speech-Drama classes at Texas Christian University. They played opposite each other in the production, StageDoor. Married on September 28, 1956, they looked forward to celebrating their 64th anniversary this year.
Louin spent twelve years in the Methodist ministry serving churches in DeLeon, Wingate, Novice, Blanket, Waco and Fort Worth. He later made a career change. He retired from Loral Corporation after 25 years in Financial Management. Louin and Barbara spent their retirement years traveling and playing golf and competing in couple’s tournaments where they met many wonderful friends.
Louin was a member of First Methodist Church Mansfield where he served in many leadership positions and as a Lay Minister. He held memberships in Poetry Society of Texas and Poets of Tarrant County where he served as Chaplain. He was a member of Walnut Creek Country Club for 45 years and served as President of the Retired Men’s Golf Association. He also coached youth sports when he was a member of Arlington Optimists. His influence was bestowed upon Victoria and John McCallum and Trevor and Trenton Baggett, all of whom he watched grow from childhood into successful adults.
Waiting to welcome him into Heaven were his father, Louin Berry, Jr. and first grandson, Michael John Berry, Jr. along with a host of family and friends. Louin Berry III was a man of great faith and loved to read and study the Bible and share his faith with others.
Due to Covid-19, the family will gather in the First Methodist Mansfield Chapel for a private memorial service. Burial will be in the Berry Family Plot at Mt Olivet Cemetery in Fort Worth.
