Not sure what to say?

Joe Perrin was a respected powerhouse in the Atlanta art world. Thank you Joe for all you did.

Thank you Joe, for your service during World War II. Thank you for all the beautiful gifts of art you left in the world for us, and for all the people you encouraged to continue to create art for future generations. Thank you for the gifts of your children: Chris and Jane and Josie, and for your children's children. Thank you for your never-failing sense of humor - I knew every time I saw you, you would have a joke (or two) for me. And thank you for being part of my life. I'm sad to know...

Mary Ruth Sumner Rome, Ga. Rome Art Coterie Wonderful See earlier comment prior to this

I was one of the Rome, Ga. artists who studied under Joe. He helped us start a group for the artists in Rome, called Rome Art Coterie. He was an inspiration to all of us. We loved him. He stayed at my house on one visit to Rome.

Mr. Perrin was a wonderful artist and inspiration to me throughout my years at GSU in the school of art and design. The art community feels the loss.

It can be so hard to face the first year without your loved one, but the love of family and friends can carry you through.

I am so sorry for your great loss. May the God who is 'binding up the brokenhearted and comforting those mourning' sustain you during this most difficult time. (Isa. 61:1,2). Again, my deepest sympathies.

Such a wonderful artist. My condolences for your loss. May the God of Peace comfort you in your time of loss

Joe was a sweet, sweet soul. Paint the heavens in glorious new colors, my friend.
