Pernell always had a smile on his face and always waved as I would leave work. He will be missed at The Pilot. My condolences to the family.

Pernell’s spiritual gifts included kindness and goodness. I am confident he was escorted to heaven by angles. He will be greatly missed by his friends and family. But, we have hope to see his smiling face again in heaven.

I was shocked and sad to hear of Pernell's passing. What a gentle, friendly, sweet man. One day he went waaaaay out of his way to help me track down a back issues of the Pilot that had an article about my daughter in it. I was so thankful for that. I didn't know him well, but I enjoyed talking to him briefly each time I came to the office. I will miss him.
