J. Stuart Perkins

It has been my honor and privilege to take care of both Stuart and Valerie Perkins for the last several years. They were not only wonderful, compliant patients that we looked forward to seeing in the office, but became very dear friends who will be missed terribly. I hope to keep in touch with their devoted daughter, Sarah, who made sure that their final wishes were honored.

Although we attended your dear mother's service we were unable to attend Stuart's. Our deepest sympathy goes out to you.

Thank you Mr.Perkins for giving me the privilege and it has been my honor to work for you and Mrs. Perkins for the last thirty year's, seeing the two of you once a week caring for your plants and flowers, some times getting it wrong and Mr.Perkins rolling his eyes back and giving me another chance,you gave me a lot of suggestions on how to do it. your support and guidance will stay with me forever. Thank You Mrs.Perkins for reminding me to always Mind My Head when walking under the stairway...

I met Stuart Perkins shortly after I joined the independent VW distributorship in New Orleans in 1965. I was asked to join him in the cafeteria just before he was to meet with Mr. Willard Robertson. We had a very nice conversation and he gave me a wonderful insight on the company and encouraged me to advance and continue to "bleed blue!"

He always remembered me from that meeting as I would see him at national dealer gatherings many times. He was very well liked by all the dealers...

I began my carrer at VWoA a year after he became president. He was admired and very kind and encouraging to me in my career there. I am sorry he is gone but know many others from VW have good memories of him.

Stuart and Val were dear friends. It was a treat to be in their company. Stuart told so many wonderful stories of his "Vokswagen" days and had a great sense of humor. We will remember him fondly.
Our sincere sympathy in the loss of such a special person.

There are really no words to express my sense of loss of Stuart and Valerie. I knew them both and loved them both.

I only met mr. Perkins once but i admired his leadership.

Your Dad and Mom were class acts. We'll miss them. Jim & Susan Tollerton
