44 + years ago, I was instructed to get Office Insurance from our Landlord at the old Crane Building, R Q Perry Insurance Agency was on the 2nd floor in his first operation and thus, a long business and personal friendship began. RQ, you will me missed by a lot of friends and business people.

I was married to Richard Perry from 1972 until 2001. We had many happy and unhappy times together. I choose to remember his spirit, his love of life, his sense of humor, and the fun we had together. RIP Richard.

Richard was a great insurance agent and a good friend. He always knew the best places to stay and dine and plays to see. RIP RQP.
