I love and miss Perry. He was my friend and brother through our Kappa Sigma fraternity. Misty and DeG were a great couple for so many years... I'm very grateful to have been a small part of their lives. I'm very sad for their struggles through his health issues and very sad for Perry's family and friends deep loss. May God bless his soul and give strength to those touched by his life.
