It has been 25 years since I have last talked to Percy and yet as soon as his name is mentioned so many positive thoughts flood into my mind. A person who was always so positive and engaging, enthusiastic and refreshing; one always wanted to spend a moment and chat with Percy because you knew that no matter what you were feeling, Percy would raise your spirits. Percy is truly a model for a life well lived.
