Marie, Jeff & Grandsons,
We sincerely share in your loss with Perry leaving us.

Fortunately, we were blessed with him being in our lives for over 30 years and sharing many happy occassions with his humor, delightful character and zest for life. He was one of the most loyal and dedicated co-workers & friends that we could have ever asked for. Work was no stranger to that "Otis Ranger". He was highly admired in the elevator world that we lived in.

So, let's not dwell on the loss, but celebrate his "outstanding" life and the wonderful memories he has left us with. He was able to enjoy each and every day that he walked with us.

We will remember your family in our thoughts and prayers during this most difficult adjustment in the days ahead. We are only a phone call away and a couple of miles as the crow flies. So, please don't hesitate to ring us up.

Our Love Always,

Bob Hermanson
