John William Perry

I was in the police academy with John. I was in 93-50, and If I remember correctly, he was in my sister company, 93-49. He had a great sense of humor and was a great guy who didn't seem to have a bad bone in his body. He was mature and responsible and seemed to be very intelligent. I didn't know he was doing acting work until much later. I knew he worked in the advocates office and had seen him in passing many times at 1PP.
Such a good dude he was. He was very tall and witty and gentle....

Anthony, Send an email to the below address and I will share with you John´s brother, Perry´s email address. Send to [email protected] Tom Biggers

I think of you often. Such an amazing man. May all those who lost their lives that fateful day continue to R.I.P. and I continue to pray for those still suffering from the effects of 9/11. God bless you all. Our nation will never be the same.

I didn't know John personally, but briefly met and spoke with a gentleman who I believe to be his brother,at the 911 Memorial. I took a photo which I thought his brother would like and would like to email the file.
I couldn't help but be touched by the meeting and how how Johns memory was being kept alive.
Kindly forward your email address to me and I will forward you the file..
God Bless,

I am reading about how amazing you were, you knew 4 languages, learning 5. You volunteered at The Prevention of Cruelty to Children, a perfect man all around. We could use more people like you, R.I.P John William Perry.

I remeber meeting John on the set of KING OF THE JUNGLE, when he and my late husband were working to get their SAG cards (at least I understand John was working on getting his). He and John became friendly and got to work together on a few other films, like MEN IN BLACK II. He was a true friendly, gentle giant both in stature and in personality. I know how hard it is to lose a loved one and hope his family finds solice in the fact that he gave his life helping others.

Read about your story on social media 23 yrs to the day. Amazed by your valour and kind heartedness. With the current state of the world we need more people like you. Rest in Peace John

Officer Perry, I learned about you after seeing a memorial plaque for your heroic actions on 9/11. I learned not only of your actions that day, but also your kindness and achievements outside of the NYPD. I’m sure you served my community with grace, and many officers like you are needed. I didn’t even exist on 9/11, and your story still got to me. Thank you Officer Perry, you are my hero.
