We will miss this sweet man. Our visits to the Main Street Cafe were always brightened by seeing Perry and exchnging pleasantries. Surely, a proud member of the "greatest generation". We are very pleased to have known him and may he now rest in peace.

I remember Perry through being friends with Lance. He always had a smile and a nice word to say to everyone. My kind thoughts and sympathy to the Johnson Family. May all your happy memories of Perry bring you peace.
Love, Suzanne

I met Perry through the laundromat I own in Pepperell, he was a wonderful, happy and generous man. He always made us laugh and smile. We spoke alot about the two of us living in Somerville, and the memories we both had. Perry truly had a heart of gold. He always went out of his way to make me and my employees day! He will truly be missed in our hearts and minds at the mat. May you rest in peace Perry and thanks for being such a good friend.

I will miss you deeply pop, aka Double Pop. I have so many wonderful childhood memories and a very special one at the John Crow Farm from this past summer. You blessed and enriched our lives.

My heart is broken and I will miss Perry very much. When I think of the Johnson's I think of family. There were many special events we shared with the Johnson's since we were born. Christmas Eves when the Bowlby's still lived in Somerville and my father drove through a blizzard to the Johnson's house so we could see Santa. Thanksgivings, Easter's, and many more wonderful times and memories. In 1959 it was Perry and my Dad walking through the woods and found the lot of land my Dad wanted to build the house on Notre Dame Road.
Perry I will miss your laugh, your way of looking at things and the world, and your kind suggestions and support.
My Heart and prayers go out to all the Johnson Family. May God hold you in His arms. With Love, Debbie (Bowlby) Larsen

Perry and my father were childhood friends and they were like brothers through the years. Lance and I have carried on this tradition. I loved to delve into Perry's memories of Sommerville and the early years in Bedford. I'll miss his wit and intellect. My love to the Johnsons, Eric

My favorite customer at Main Street Cafe. I've worked there for over two years, and I frequently spent my breaks with him, and I got to know him well, as did my family. He came to my graduation party, part of thanksgiving, and occasionaly had dinner with us. He sent me birthday cards to my college campus. Perry was almost like a third grandfather. He was sweet, caring, friendly, and downright hilarious. I've always admired his ability to get along with everybody and his youthful energy. I will miss him greatly, as I'm sure everyone who had the pleasure of meeting will feel as well. Rest in peace, Perry.
