"Jeremy and Kim, I went all through school with your grandfather. He was lots of fun, always friendly and an all around good guy. I wish I had known that he was your grandpa, and I would have told him how much I enjoyed having you in class. I know he will be missed. Joyce Harland"

"Berwyn was a long time member of the BMW DFW Motorcycle Club. We shared and enjoyed many rides together. He was always ready for a ride as an active club member. We missed him when he left for IL. Condolences to all his family. "

"I am so very sorry for your loss. I really only knew him when I was a kid. He caught me hiding behind a dresser in Terri's room. I wasn't supposed to go into somebody's home unless their parents were home. I disobeyed and Berwyn came home and saw me. I was petrified. He said "don't worry, I'm not going to tell your parents." ? Other than that, I know he was friends with my dad and they shared the love of motorcycles. Godspeed Berwyn RIP"

"He had 3 more Children. They were step but he raised them. Troy, Tonya, and Teri. He had 6 more grandchildren, Courtney, Troy, Cody, Carissa, Davon, and Davian. He also had 8 more great grandchildren and one more on the way. He was my papa. For most of my life I thought he was the strongest and smartest man in the world. When things were broken or life went wrong he was there to fix it. I spent a lot of my time with him and my nana as a child, I went on all the trips with them. He loved when I sang in the back of the van. He loved working on his motorcycles and I would often go out and talk with him while he worked. He has been missed and will continued to be missed. We love you papa. Always. "

"Berwyn was a wonderful friend and neighbor to us in Southlake, TX. He likes to talk vehicles and motorcycles with my husband. He would come over and visit when he had the chance and bring goodies to us at Christmas. He will be missed. "
