James Jermone Perryman

Coach Perryman, was friend as well as a coach. I was an student aide on the basketball staff in 1985. I will never forget him he is a true saint and gentlemen. May God bless you and keep your family in your hour of need.

My prayers are with Coach Perryman's Family. I would always stop by the school to say hello to him. He will always be my coach. I remember our talks about life in his office. He was always nice to me. I was on the cheerleader squad from 1983-1987. Coach will be missed.

My thoughts and prayers goes out to the Perryman family. I attended Holy Family for only school year 1985-86 but I grew to care about Coach like a family member. He always tried to keep everybody in line not just the basketball team. I would see him often out and about and he still remembered me even though I only was there for my senior year. He is in a better place and he will be missed a great deal.

When finding out about Coach my heart skipped a couple of beats. I traveled with the basketball team with him and kept the score during my four years at HFHS. He and I was very close. I just saw him at IHOP two weeks ago. He was a great man and so vibrant and full of life. He will be greatly missed by all that knew him. I would like to express my deepest sympathy to Coach's family and give you assurance that he is marching to the beat of a different drum now and his memory will live on.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the Perryman family as well as the entire Holy Family School body and staff.

I was shocked and saddened to hear about Coach Perryman. Often times, I would bypass the school, in my travels, and see him walking from the gym to the school building or just see him standing around on campus. I think that it is safe to say that Coach Perryman always came to mind when thinking about Holy Family. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. Be strong and know that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Stay Blessed!

To my coach, teacher, and friend: As a former student at Holy Family and player on the 1986 and 1987 championship team, you will always be with me coach. 1 thing that I will never forget, you always taught us to be ready. In the classroom, on the basketball court, and on the job, those 2 words, "be ready" have been with me since 1988. My prayers are with the Perryman family as well as the family at Holy Family.
