Barry E. Roseberry, Sr., 66, a resident of Country Meadows Independent Living Community of York, died of natural causes and went home to our heavenly Father on Tuesday, February 22, 2011.
Born January 13, 1945, in Baltimore, Md., he was a son of the late Carroll and Mary (Kiser) Roseberry.
He graduated from Susquehannock High School in 1962 and immediately enlisted in the United States Marine Corps. A veteran of the Vietnam War, he was proud to serve our country as a United States Marine. He put his life on the line for his country and loved ones by volunteering to serve in two separate tours of duty in Vietnam. He took his military service very seriously, earning the rank of Staff Sergeant and several medals of honor. After 10 years of dedicated service to our country in the USMC, he was honorably discharged and began his 26-year career with Caterpillar Tractor Company as a machinist and union steward.
Barry leaves his former wife and friend, Rita M. (Hopwood) Roseberry of York; a son, Barry E. Roseberry, Jr. and his wife, Tina of York; a daughter, Sharon M. Mason and her husband, Joseph of York; one grandson, Ryan D. Mason of York; two sisters, Ruby Williams and her husband, Glen of York, and Lori Mitzel of York; one brother, Gary Roseberry and wife, Diane of Cummings, Ga.; four stepgrandchildren; and numerous nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by a son, David L. Roseberry; a sister, Marjorie E. Hopple; and a brother, Carroll W. Roseberry, Jr. Barry will always be remembered as a very determined and hard working man who loved his family and country. If anyone would like to pay tribute to Barry's military service, his name can be found at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial at the York Fair Grounds. He was a very happy resident at Country Meadows on Trolley Road, where he met many new friends who cared for him deeply. He will be remembered by them and many others as the "Man on the scooter, who sat at the corner of Carlisle Road and Sunset'. Some referred to him as the "Mayor of Carlisle Road'. One of Barry's favorite quotes was: "If the Army and Navy ever looked on heaven's scenes, they would find the streets were guarded by the United States Marines!"
A graveside tribute will be held at Susquehanna Memorial Gardens, York.
