I had the pleasure of meeting Perry when he came to Abilene to watch our high school football team compete. We became good friends and remained so throughout our adult lives. Perry was like a big brother to me. He was always there when I needed someone to talk to or share in an adventure. I miss you PDogg.
May God bless and provide comfort to the Williams family.

Hearing about Perry’s passing breaks my heart. I met Perry in 1974 as a junior at Stebbins High. He was very popular. Perry was a wrestling and football star, on the Homecoming Court, the President of the Senior class , Prom King..... Everyone loved and respected Perry then as they do now. My husband, David, and I have many fond memories of adventures with Perry throughout the years.
With our deepest sympathy to the WILLIAMS family,
Kim (Moake) and David Tomasetti

Perry was a good man and a loyal friend. He was always there to help.
He was there in South Texas when I earned my wings and he was there as my best man when I married the love of my life. Thank you for your friendship, Perry. You will be deeply missed by many and especially by Annie and me.

"Honoring a friend's passing is truly about honoring their life. Those of us who grew up with Perry in Overlook through High School were very proud of the man Perry was raised to become. Our Prayers are with the Williams Family. Rest in peace my friend.

“But try to remember that a good man can never die. You will see him many times again--in the streets, at home, in all the places of the town. The person of a man may go, but the best part of him stays. It stays forever.” William Saroyan
