Perry always captured my attention. We "grew up" together. Looks like he gained worldwide fame! I'm not surprised. He always had the knack to be noticed. I remember a skit we did in school for some variety show where he got his chocolate in my peanut butter! Can't think about him without a grin.

I only knew of Perry through listening to SGU and he was a great inspiration and very funny dude.
He will be sadly missed and my thoughts go out to his family and friends.
I too am on your side about the monkeys Per.
Peace out

I can only echo what others have said here.
My sypmathies are with Perry's Family and Friends.
I only knew Perry from The SGU podcast and only since the last 8 months and he made a huge impact on my life.
Perry you will be missed.

My memories of Perry are from Helen Keller Middle School days. He was always kind and full of life. I thought he would be a comedian or an entertainer. It has been many years since I had last seen him. I am sending my heartfelt sympathy to his wife, family and friends. Take care

What a deep loss to us all: not just to those who knew him personally, but to the thousands who admired him and were inspired by his clarity, wit, and humor.
This was a man who was cherished the world over. We are all of us poorer today to live in a world without Perry's brilliance.

Thanks Perry for the pleasure of listening you on Skeptics Guide. It is strange to me that I feel such a loss for someone that I only knew via podcasts, it just shows how he managed to touch people with his wit and wisdom.

Like so many others, I never met Perry in real life, but rather heard his wit and humour on the SGU podcast.I particularly looked forward to his contributions to the podcast and will miss him greatly. My thoughts go out to his family and friends - you have surely lost someone very special, as have we all.

Goodbye Perry - You will be sorely missed. I am still in shock and tears that we will never hear your voice again. I hope you had an inkling of the love and admiration people worldwide had for you.

I remember Perry being a good kid and alot of fun to be around growing up in Easton with him. My thoughts and prayers go out to the entire DeAngelis family.

It is a measure of a person to see how many people he touched in his life. We all bring people together and form a web of connections. Through his passion and commitment to truth and reason, Perry touched thousands of lives, and his influence spread from them. He will be missed, but also remembered well.

Perry will be missed. I never knew him personally, only listened to him on SGU, but in that short time he was an inspiration to me. A great skeptic of some note.

I never met Perry, but I enjoyed very much his podcasts. I'm sure a lot of people benefited from his work like I did, and I'll be missing his comments and thoughts in the show. My heartfelt condolences to Perry's family and close friends.

My sincere condolences to the family and friends of Perry. The great loss I feel shrinks to insignificance in comparison with how they must feel. Perry did more good and touched more lives in a positive way than most. Truly a man of accomplishment.

Even though it's been 25 yrs since I knew Perry in home room, I think about him frequently. The way he attacked life and his unique perspective on everything always brings a smile out.
My thoughts and prayers are with his friends and family.

I never knew Perry in "real life". I only knew him from his podcast and chatting with him online. He was a weekly fixture in my life for the last two years. I can speak for many of his listeners: he touched our lives and opened our eyes.
