I ATTENDED MT. VIEW JR.HIGH IN 1974-76 AND HAVE ALWAYS REMEMBERED MR. PERRY TELLING ME I COULDN'T BE A DILL PICKLE (MY STEP SISTERS LAST NAMES WERE DILL)SO I HAD TO BE A KOSHER PICKLE. HE WAS A VERY SWEET PERSON EASY TO TALK TO I WOULD RUN INTO HIM FROM TIME TO TIME THROUGH THE YEARS AND HE ALWAYS REMEMBERED ME. HE WILL BE MISSED.

I have known the Perry's along time and they are all very special people. Dean helped anyone that needed it and was always kind and giving. He will be truly missed. Wish I could be there but know that your family is in my thoughts and prayer. Vicky (Smith) True

I was an "Okie" kid growing up in Lamont and Arvin High School. I remember Dean so well. He was a very caring guy and I'm so glad to hear he fulfilled his life's dream. Sorry his family has lost him too ssson

To Our Brother-in-law,
Although you were not able to make it to Ohio one more time, you will live in Ohio through our thoughts. We love you and thank you for showing us the true meaning of walking in God's footsteps in your humbleness and faith in Jesus Christ. You can now enjoy being truly free in HIM. We will keep Alicia and the family in our prayers always.
In HIS Love,

I first met the Perry family in 1957 when Mom Perry was babysitting for my youngest brother Teddy. Dean was a very special young boy, who grew to be a wonderful man, a helper and a friend, touching so many lives. My thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Perry family. You are in my prayers.

R.I.P. Uncle who I love... Thank-you for always seeing the best in me & cheering me on "coach". You have truely been a light in this world. You will be missed by many, and remembered in my heart with many happy memories. <3 xoxo- "little linda"

To my sweet "Oakie" brother-in-law. How much I miss and love you. Thanks for being such a wonderful gift to the Woodside (Alvarez) family in Ohio. Our summers will NEVER be the same without you. Your legacy is love, and because of you I will be a better person.
