Dennis Clayton Perry

Over the past few years I had the opportunity to fly numerous times with Dennis as his copilot on the 767. Flying with Dennis was always a pleasure. By chance, I also saw Dennis in Dallas on my last recurrent training cycle last spring. Although we were not paired in the simulator together , we shared many stories over dinner during our stay...He was a great guy to fly with! Friendly, soft spoken and professional; a real class act and my friend. My thoughts and prayers go out to the Perry...

I was so deeply saddened by this news of Dennis and his passing. I flew many trips with Dennis and walked the mountain to the city Of Zurich. It was also a pleasure to fly with this wonderful man. He would always ask me about my son and if He had heard from the FBI. He had a gift for making anyone feel comfortable. May God Bless your family and may He help ease your loss. His spirit will always be around us!!

The loss of Dennis, just takes my breath away. He certainly brightened the lights here on Earth. I have flown many trips with Dennis and he was always a breath of fresh air. His bright smile and warm hugs, and terrific sense of humor, always made for a terrific trip. He will be missed FOREVER. My prayers and condolences to his family. May your memories of Dennis, hold you together and give comfort to you, now and always. I am so sorry for such an enormous loss.

It is really difficult for me to believe that Dennis is no longer here. Dennis had a great smile and warm personality, I'm so sorry for your loss and know that his kindness will always be remembered by all that knew him. God bless and embrace everyone in his family.
Warmest regards

Sorry for your loss.
Flew with Dennis for many years. He always said that Jersey was better than New York. Great sense of humor. He will be missed.

On Veteran's Day how sad to say good-bye to a truly good guy and proud AF Veteran. DC was as nice a person as any you would ever meet. Although 20 has passed in the blink of an eye from the last time I saw him, it hasn't dulled remembering the warmth of his smile or his laugh. God Bless his family and all who knew him and will feel the loss of such a Patriot!

I was a classmate of Dennis in his newhire training at American Airlines in January of 1979. I remember Dennis having a cheerful, positive outlook; and his friendly, outgoing and upbeat personality always made it a pleasure to be in his company. My sincere condolences to Dennis' family and friends for their loss.

To the Perry family. I had the privilege of flying with Dennis. He was a great pilot but even better friend! Please know that the pilots of American Airlines feel your pain and loss. But we also enjoyed living our lives with Dennis! He knew every day was a gift and we enjoyed our days with him!
He talked often of his family and loved you all very much!
God bless Dennis and his family.
