As well as many nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins, in-laws and friends. All of whom held a special place in his heart. 

Perry always truly lived his life to the fullest, and enjoyed every moment. His laughter was infectious and his positive carefree attitude was truly something to admire, and one that everybody should strive to emulate. He never held a grudge or sweated the little things in life. He was loved by everyone who ever had the pleasure of knowing him. He had so many great life long friendships from one end of the country to the other. He treated everybody the same, and stayed true to himself. That quality was very evident, and easy for everybody to sense the sincerity with which he conducted himself. He will be deeply missed by many people.

A Service to celebrate Perry’s life will be held on Monday April 24th at the Good Sheppard Anglican Church in Normans Cove at 2:00PM. Followed by a gathering at the lodge and his family home for people to reminisce, share stories and have a few laughs remembering all of the amazing experiences they shared with him, which is exactly what Perry would have wanted.

His Journey’s Just Begun

Don’t think of him as gone away his journey has just begun; life holds so many facets this earth is only one. Just think of him as resting from the sorrows and the tears in a place of warmth and comfort where there are no days and years. Think how he must be wishing that we could know today how nothing but our sadness can really pass away. & think of him living in the hearts of those he touched…for nothing loved is ever lost and he was loved so much.
