The casket of rock 'n' roll legend Chuck Berry is carried out of his memorial service on Sunday in St Louis. "I am here because Chuck Berry meant a lot to anybody who grew up on rock n' roll,'' said Wendy Mason, who drove in from Kansas City, Kansas, for the visitation. At the end of the funeral, a brass band played "St. Louis Blues'' while Berry's casket was carried out. "Anyone who plays rock 'n' roll was inspired by him,'' Shaffer said. The head of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Greg Harris, said "anybody who's picked up a guitar has been influenced by him.''
