Dear Entzi family,
It was such a pleasure to have worked with Perry years ago at Ft. Carson. He was a great person and the epitome of strength and fitness - that is how he will be remembered.
My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of loss.

Dear Entzi fam - you are in my thoughts. I'm glad I got to meet Perry in August at Kasina's wedding. She's told so many warm and funny stories about him, I really felt like I knew him. So sorry for your loss. Sterkte.

He put his arms around you, and lifted you to rest. God's garden must be beautiful, He always takes the best. He saw the road was getting rough, and the hills were hard to climb. So He closed your weary eyelids, and whispered "Peace be thine". It broke our hearts to lose you, but you didn't go alone. For part of us went with you, the day God called you home.

Dear Theresa,
I heart goes out to you, your children and family during this difficult time.
It was a shock to hear the news about Perry. I went to the same church as Perry's family when we were kids. I remember Perry as being very kind and respectable. It was nice to see you at our 30 year reunion last summer, where I found out that the two of you were married! I enjoyed seeing your pictures on line. I know you two made an amazing couple and I know Perry will be missed more than words can convey.
May God comfort you and your family.
With Deepest Sympathy, Julie Janke Sprague

We do not understand why God has taken Perry at such a young age. I have grown to love him more each day and I'm just a friend of his. We would always visit at the Medina gym when I was able to go. He was a great guy! Theresa may the Good Lord be a comfort to you and your family at this difficult time. Love You. Harriet M. James

It is hard to say goodbye to a true friend. After spending some time with the Entzis last couple of days - I realize that those characteristics and traits that made Perry so unique and special are ever-present in his wife and children.
My thoughts and prayers are with you. In working with Perry last 10 years or so - he constantly talked about how much he loved you and how proud he was of you all. He was a great guy, good father and a trusted friend. It was an honor to work with him and to know him. God Bless you all

My condolences to the Entzi family. I served with Perry in B Co. 2/325 AIR. He was in my squad and we endeared many hardships together. I can still remember his calm demeanor and his way of laughing off the daily struggles of military life. I am thankful that our paths crossed and we were able to walk together for a short time. He was a great man. Rest in peace, my brother. AATW
