Perry House

Remembering so many special moments: Oaxaca was a wondrous holiday, Fresh Paint opening, so many fun times at River Cafe, our many rented homes until we could purchase one ... love for Sarah.

Looking at this painting I brought from you decades ago and thinking of you.

Sage Old Man. Talked me out of tattooing my wife's (later ex) name on my body. Spanish Village at lunch, dancing the tight rope after when we were in class (reason they only serve you two margaritas). Always caring. Always honest. Always with a smile to share. Said you would wait until the computer could read his mind, no need to study. Well, you didn't quite make it to the big Mind Meld unveiling, but you always liked pushing paint anyway. I'm a better man for knowing you. Godspeed

Perry was my Commercial Art instructor at HCC from 1991 to '94. Great guy and brilliant artist. Rest in peace, Perry.

We shared some wonderful years together! Our wedding at the home of Lucas and Patricia Johnson, and surrounded in love by the Houston art community was such an incredible day - even though it was on the same weekend as the Masters Golf tournament, you managed to show up in grand style for the ceremony! So many travel memories too. We did make great traveling companions! Thank you, YOU, for sharing abundant love and laughter with me for a time! Love to Sarah too!

Dear Perry, I know you are watching us, free as can be, your soul flying through the winds of time. Stay close to your beloved Sarah and her family. We will miss you and your amazing talent. You made our world a better place. Shine on. See you soon.
