Perry is family, from my childhood. His parents & my parents were best of friends. Perry was an active member of so many friend circles in Jefferson City. I miss his welcoming smile, his humor, and his friendship. I talked with him a few weeks ago. Knowing his is truly a blessing.
Perry was just like family to me and I enjoy talking and spending time with him when I can. He always talk to me every time he see me and was a great member of Quin Chapel. He will be missed.
Perry was just a nice man, always smiled as he asked (and really meant) ‘howya doing?). The minute you meet him, you will never forget him.
Sending much love, prayers and my deepest condolences to his family and friends.
I had the pleasure of being Bro. Perry’s pastor for over 8 years and welcoming him back to Quinn Chapel. He was always dressed impeccably and was a kind soul. I will forever remember him and our many conversations about life on Lafayette Street. He loved his family, his church and LU. I will continue to pray for his family.
Pics of his award! Rest well Brother Perry!
Praying for comfort to all of the family.
