Haven't seen an obit yet but looks like he passed away from a heart attack today.
I know every single one of you msu guys ran into him at the bar or around campus. He was the old guy that would frequently take a nap at the bar at cheers while I was there. You never saw him without a camera around his neck. Rip Gerald

I worked at Flo and Eddie's circa 2000 and Gerald was a mainstay at the bar. Super nice guy that I enjoyed talking to when things were slow. Hate to hear he has passed away.

Definitely will not be the same. Budweiser sales in Starkville will take a hit as well. Rest in peace Mr. Berry.

Always wondered who that guy was. Saw him all thru college in the late eighties
Saw him last summer in left field lounge during the regional having a cold one enjoying
the atmosphere. I think he had the same flannel shirt on as the picture. Kinda like
Mac Banks, a college icon!
