I was a teacher and coach in York from 1976-1978. I knew Pam, Pat, and Perry, who I was lucky enough to coach. He was, as the saying goes, as nice as the day is long. He almost always wore a smile, except when he thought he didn't do as well as he could have. I am sorry for the loss to his wife and children, and the loss to his birth family. My prayers are with all who knew, loved, and respected Perry. As with his sisters, I felt we had crossed over from just teacher/coach to student and were friends. I pray there is peace for all.
