John N. Berry IV, 52, who helped form the Beastie Boys in the early 1980s and who was also a stepson of former Darien Library Director Louise Berry, passed away Thursday at a hospice in Danvers, Mass. Louise Berry, who worked for Darien Library for 35 years until her retirement several years ago as director, posted pictures of John on Facebook, including the one below of him with his father and brother, with the message:
To all of John N Berry IV’s friends. Johnny died this morning at a hospice in Mass. As many of you know, he had frontal temporal lobe dementia and had been hospitalized for the last several years. Do something creative in his memory.
