Our prayers are with you and your family Lillian.

I so wish I could be with y'all today to celebrate Percy's life. Words are inadequate to express the impact he had but I'm going to try! His sense of humor was unparalleled. His storytelling ability was unrivaled. His depth of love for his family and friends was so deep. I'm grateful for his friendship and support and owe much of my business success to the word of mouth promotion that Percy and Lillian provided.

Percy was perhaps the finest example of a southern gentleman I ever met. Always kind and thoughtful, he always acted in the best interest of his community. Lillian and the girls were fortunate to have him in their lives. he made a difference.....

Percy was a kind and funny man. He was a wonderful (and patient) husband and father. I remember him running, running, running. Always in motion

He made Lillian laugh a lot and let her be her own incredible woman and friend. His girls will miss his energy, spunk, humor and love.
May he rest in peace.

Dear Lillian & Smith Family- Percy was such a big part of everything he touched- from family to community to the neighborhoods in Wilmington and Wrightsville Beach. I love the quote “He never had a bad day and always had a twinkle in his good eye!” A life well lived. How true! God Bless Percy and his wonderful Family.

Dear Big Lillian, Lillian and Eliza,
Percy is, was, and always will be a wonderful man. You all are in my thoughts and prayers. Sending you all all things bright and beautiful
Much love,
Phil
