James “Jimmy” T. Berry, age 83, of Manchester passed away July 12, 2016.
A native of Tracy City, Tennessee and resident of Manchester, he was the
son of the late Thomas and Lucille Willis Berry. He attended the Faith
Freewill Baptist Church and retired as a truck driver and car salesman
with Mid TN Auto Brokers. After retiring, he continued buying and selling
cars, even up to two weeks prior his passing, by helping his “16” year
old granddaughter find her special first car. Jimmy was a self made man,
loved to talk to everyone, knew just about everyone, loved to travel and
see new places. He simply “liked” people, but most of all he loved and
took great care of his family.
