Gaylord Perry

Dear Perry family, Very sorry about Gaylord. He was a great pitcher along with Jim. Wish the Cubs had them ! Regards, Robert Jones Bloomingdale, IL.

Rest In Peace, venerable one.

Sincerest condolences for loss. May God grant you a sense of peace and comfort as you grieve.

Just a young fan when Gaylord came to Cleveland. But quickly became my favorite all-time. Very sad day but he brought a lot of joy. Thanks for sharing him! - Dean

I met Gaylord at 17, and little did I realize that that would be the beginning of a friendship that would last for 46 years. Gaylord was a friend and he was more than just a ball player to me... He and I had discussions that covered the gamut. It is because of him that I am who I am. Amy, Beth, and Allison - - I´m so sorry for your loss right now. There are no words that I can say that can really comfort you. I wish you guys peace at this time and pray that your grief I´ll bring blessings...

Gaylord was a friend for many years. My condolences to Amy, Beth, and Allison at his passing. Your dad was a special man, on amd off the field. Wish I could join you as he’s laid to rest but not possible. God’s peace be yours as you grieve his loss.
