All who knew Perry share your loss. Perry was a truly exceptional human being: aviator, engineer, manager, mechanic, builder and man of many other talents. But he was, most of all, to everyone who knew him, a readily available friend, mentor, advisor, counselor and cohort. His hallmark easy-going nature and good humor provide a lasting memory for us all. His humanity leaves a perfect monument. He is already greatly missed.

I wish your family well during this time of grieving. I'm inspired by the faith of Perry's granddaughter Jenny. Perry was assistant branch head of the Aeroelasticity Branch when I was a co-op student there in 1980. I'm still associated with this technical field and this branch and I still admire and respect Perry's contributions to the field throughout his career. I know that Perry was well respected as an engineer and as a person by so many of this peers.

To the Hanson family, I offer my deepest condolences. I got to soar with Perry many years ago. My grandmother, Rebekah Sanderson, is a longtime friend of Ann, she introduced me to Perry and he offered to take me soaring. I have only done it that one time and have shared the memory countless times. He was a wonderful person and will be missed.

Dear Judy, Dicky and Danny,

Sorry to hear of the loss of tour father. Though I did not know Perry well he was always a totally class individual and I thoroughly enjoyed his NASA and flying stories. When Perry talked, you listened, as you knew something important was being
spoken. My prayers are with Ann and yourselves.
Sincerely, Jerry Gallagher

Dear Dan & Family,

I was so sorry to hear about the loss of your father. Even though I never met your father, he seemed to have been a remarkable man.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.

With heartfelt condolescences,

Maria Pomaville
