Rosemary and I were deeply saddened to learn of Perry's passing. He was a truly warm and kind human being, along with being a brilliant engineer and ISA president. I have extremely fond memories of ISA travel all over the world with him, and frequently the two of you...plus our occasional meetings for lunch after we both retired.
Rosemary and I send our sincerest condolences.

Pat and family: Marsha and I are so sorry to hear about the loss of dear friend Perry. We had so many good times on ISA adventures with you and Perry when he was in the presidential chain. Most notable was the trip to Ireland for the district 12 workshop in 2000. They really had never seen the likes of you, Julie Staples, and Marsha always laughing and making the best of it all. I also recall the meeting in Banff, Alberta when you and Marsha were admonished for having too good a time. Perry was "really good people" and so are you! Please take comfort in these remembrances. May they put a small smile on your face as you look fondly back on your life with Perry. God's blessings to you and your family! With love, Steve and Marsha Huffman
