I worked with Perry at Stanadyne for 25 years and my dad (Joe) who worked in the Toolroom also worked with Perry for over 33 years. Also I just talked with Ray Beaulieu who lives in Florida now and he was saddened as myself, to hear of "Woody's" passing. We all had alot of laughs together over the years together and I will always remember Perry as a great guy who I know will be missed by all who knew him! My condolences to Perry's family.

Dear Janet and Perry's Family,
My deepest sympathy to you all. How long ago was it when you and Perry would walk up Bridge Street to meet your friends. Perry would often stop to chat with my dad and he was always polite when talking with his elders. So many fond memories from that area. May your many great memories of Perry help to ease your sorrow at this most difficult time.
