I have known and cared for Perry, for almost 6 years. We became very close, like family. He was the kindest and most genuine person, I have ever known.
I will miss him dearly. My thoughts, love and prayers are with his family. He is at peace now and as they say only the good die young. God got himself an angel and great person.
Love, Raymond
