It has now been 9yrs. since the passing of coach Perrin. I still have very fond memories (working out at the Y.M.C.A. on Sat. mornings, a couple of trips to the European Rest. in the North End, a tour of the U.S. Coast Guard yard & lots of learning & laughter). A man & coach I hold & remember in great admiration. R.I.P. coach.

Dear Wendy and Beth, I am so very sorry to hear of your dads passing. I wish I could have been there with you today. Please know that you are all in my thoughts.

Wendy & Beth, and the rest of the family. Please accept my deepest condolences on your loss. But also, as I read your Dad's obituary, I thought to myself, geez this man really lived such a wonderful,fulfilling and rewarding life! He accomplished so much with the time he was given. So as you grieve this tremendous loss, don't forget to also celebrate the life he lived. It looks to me like he had one hell of time.

Todd & Wendy,
I'm so sorry for the loss of your GREAT father. He was definitely one in a billion. My brother Mike & I learned how to wrestle his style at the Brockton Y.M.C.A. w/Todd, G. Gouveia, & the Dunn Bros. I always admired his unique ways of mentorship. He left a lasting impression on me for my lifetime! RIP & God bless Coach Perrin.
