James A. Berry
NORTH HAMPTON - James A. Berry, a retired U.S. Army major, 63, of North Hampton, passed away on Friday, Nov. 28, 2003, at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.
Jim led an adventurous life filled with laughter, a love of learning, a quirky sense of humor, and many accomplishments and passions. A highly decorated combat soldier, he retired from a distinguished 22-year military career, which included being a member of the Honor Guard and three tours in Vietnam.
Following the military, Jim was an engineer with Raytheon Corp., working on important projects such as the Patriot Missile Program.

In addition, Jim was an active participant in the community, including teaching physics at a local college and working with the Hampton Youth Association.
We will always remember this "cowboy at heart" for his love of life and the joy and laughter he brought to all who knew him. He was a wonderful husband, super dad, loving grandpa, devoted friend and true patriot.
He is survived by his wife, Nancy; children, Cristin and Sean; son-in-law, Corey; grandsons, Jacob, Ryan and Joseph; and countless other family members and friends.
