I did not know Mr. Perry, I was a classmate of his son, Kenneth, but after reading his obituary I wish I would have met him. My, what an accomplished life he had! I know there is a place for him upstairs with his loved ones that have passed before him. God bless his family and give them comfort at this time Lord.
