Not sure what to say?

Loved me some Pinky. he always had a smile and a good joke when saw him. Rest on high my man till we meet again. PS say high to Mr. Bear.

What a special man Pinky was..he always made everyone feel like a friend. I heard many stories..he loved his family so much. Always put a smile on my face . Thank u Pinky for being such a special person
Prayers for Ann, Doug and the rest of his family .

Prayers for all Permenters. Your dad was a man who made everyone feel welcome. He was hospitable, friendly, humorous and genuinely interested in others. He exuded warmth, positivity, and a knack for making people feel comfortable and included. This is what our Heavenly Father asks of us all. The Almighty Father has called him home. You shall see him again on the other side. Big hugs, Bobby Condon & family

What an incredible man I had the pleasure of meeting and enjoying many times throughout the years. One in a million. To all his family, I know you have so many memories to cherish; may you all find peace and comfort in those memories. He will be dearly missed.

Although I knew Dr Permenter for 51 years and considered him a friend I could never call him Pinkey. He was always Dr Permenter, said by me with the greatest of respect. Even when I met him at King’s Lake where he had just been clearing land or building a road, he was Dr Permenter.
I owe a debt of gratitude to Dr Permenter in his helping me become an MAI Real Estate Appraiser. Then my making appraisals for him and Anne for the next 50 years and more recently, Doug
Being in Rehab,...

I married into this crew and have loved every minute of it. Pinky was a one of a kind man and could entertain you with story after story! He will truly be missed. Prayers coming for the remaining family.
