My favourite memory about Mr. Perri was a Shania Twain concert back in the late 90s. As a student of his at Loyola, I was shocked and pleasantly surprised when I arrived at school the next day after a Shania Twain concert to find out Mr Perri was there too. I had been invited on stage the night before to dance with Shania and low and behold, Mr Perri was in the first row and he took photos of me! I loved seeing my teacher on TV commercials every so often. And I loved having him DJ my wedding back in 2012! I was sad to learn of his passing a few months ago. Rest In Peace Mr Perri. Condolences to his family.

We met Tony and Clodette when their son Marco played soccer with our son on Mount Hamilton Soccer Team. We enjoyed their company on the soccer field. It was obvious they were a loving family. We continued to see them at various dinner dance venues where they entertained us immensely with their DJ music business. They never forgot us and always greeted us with the same warmth and respect. Our hearts were broken when we heard of the loss of a special man and loving husband and father. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family at this difficult time.

Tony was larger than life. It was always a joy to be around him. He was always happy and that happiness transferred to you as well. He was kind and generous, never said no if you needed a favour. His music duos with Clodette were something special. He will be dearly missed but we will always remember him fondly and it will bring a smile to our face as we remember the occasions we shared with him. Forever in our hearts.
Deep condolences and love to Clodette, Bianca, Marco and the rest of the Perri family.

Jody and I taught with Tony at Assumption Catholic Secondary School and he became a friend whose big heart and fabulous sense of humour was always front and centre. We were small players in his very big world but Tony made everyone feel valued and important. He and his wonderful stories will not leave us. Especially his story of being on set with Frank Sinatra!!
We loved Tony Perri.
Our thoughts and prayers go out Clodette, Bianca and Marco.
Sincerely,
Chris, Jody and Chloe Fuller

Thank you for staying connected with me for all these years Tony.
I will truly miss you my dear friend.
I have had the pleasure of experiencing Tony for almost 60 years, from our first meeting as opponents during a CYO - Grade School football game, (St. Bridget’s vs Blessed Sacrament), and then later as perpetual, winning team mates at Cathedral Boys’ HS in the mid sixty’s.
Tony always was a leader, a winner, who was committed to whatever team he played with, most importantly to the team he and Clodette raised; the DJ team; the School Board team; his classrooms; business and the many, many friends and family members he had over the years.
Although like most high school people, especially those who travelled and/or moved, we didn’t stay in regular contact over all the years, however whenever we did reconnect during my visits back to the Hammer we had visits full of fond and fun memories.
More of late sharing pictures of our kids, grandchildren; stories etc.
Clodette, nothing more I can say, other than you were truly blessed to be married and raising a family with such a man of integrity.

I had the privilege of working for Tony 35 plus years ago at Perry's. Not only was he my boss, he helped me immeasurably in numerous other ways. Sincerest condolences to Clodette, Bianca, Marco and all family and friends. We've lost a gem.
R.I.P. Tony ❤

Sad news! Condolonrces to the family!
It's been a long journey since the days at St. Brigid's school. Met numerous times over the years. Certainly hard working and determined. Sorry to hear what has happened.

I was an old classmate of Clodette's at Cathedral Girls. I knew Tony from St. Anthony's parish where I used to come in from Ancaster to be part of St. Anthony's entry in the annual CYO drama festival. Tony was so good-hearted, funny, and a great supporter. Sounds like he never changed. That's a nice thought. Sincere condolences, Clodette, to you and your family on this weighty loss. Prayers going up from the West Coast, Hamilton-bound.

From the moment we met, we were friends. Both Italian, same age, both grew up in Hamilton, with so many memories in common. I always enjoyed our lunches and visits together, talking about any old thing. He was a gentleman, and a great guy - I will miss him.

Mr. Perri made a world of difference in my life during a really challenging year of high school. I am eternally grateful for his kindness, humour, and empathy during that time. My sincere condolences to his entire family. Mr. Perri made a life-long impact in the lives of so many students.

Our neighbourhood has lost a familiar figure, our dear friend Tony. It wasn't long after he moved in across the street that we became good friends. We will miss seeing him sitting in his favourite chair out front, talking with everyone that walked by. It's hard not seeing him sitting there now, but we will try to find solace in knowing that he is "Up There", being a friend to his new neighbours".
Tony we miss you!

Got to meet and reminisce with Tony about our High School years at Cathedral Boys very recently. We talked for hours about Tony's antics. Was hoping to get together again soon unfortunately it was not to be. I will miss him. Rest in Peace Tony you have touched many people and will be missed.

My deepest sympathy to Tony's family on his passing. Tony and I attended the University of Windsor together and I later played in his band, Stardust. May he rest in peace.
