Dr. Claud Barkley Perry

Thanks for the memories Claud. Those of us knew Claud have so many. I remember one occasion several of us went to the old Paramount to see a some movie I can't remember. Clauld was late, we went on in. Right when the movie stared getting good Claud came in and with a loud voice , "Is there a Richard Hines in here." I think Richard stood or let him know. Claud knew how to have fun. His love for the lighter side was great. Memories are made to put in your heart. Thank God for our...

I know we all have fond and lasting memories of our Claud. We could say that GHS was never the same after Claud. He had an infectious personality. We could say Heaven will not be the same also. It won't be, because Claud surely has made it more fun. God has a sense of humor. He invented laughter and Claud knew how to use it. We were blessed to have him and our memories of him are so important. His family were really the ones blessed because of his love for them. It is so...

Claud always had a special place in my heart. As high school friends we had many, many laughs and good times together. He will truly be missed by all. My sympathy to his family.

I am always reminded of him when i hear the song "Abilene". He played it on the jukebox in Stone's ice cream shop during GHS lunch period. Word of his passing saddens me. My deepest sympathy goes to his family and friends.

I grew up around the corner from Claud; my deepest sympathies to his family for their loss.

Dr Perry was a one of a kind. I had the pleasure of working with him for over 6 years. He was a very polite and thoughtful person, always concerned about others before himself. He will be missed and fondly remembered by many. God Bless!

Claud was not only a classmate but also one of my neighborhood buddies in Gulfport, MS. I remember Claud fondly as always smiling, laughing and just enjoying life. I am sorry that we didn't stay in touch after high school. To Claud's family, I offer my sincerest sympathy at this very sad time.

I have many good memories of Claud from junior high and high school. I wish I could have known him as an adult. I will keep his family in my prayers.

It is so sad that we wait until someone's passing to tell them how much they meant. Haven't seen Claud since high school but I have so many wonderful memories of him. So full of life and such a great personality. Rest in peace my friend. We will all miss you
