To the family of Howie Perry, I am sorry to read of the death of your Father and husband. I remember Howie from the streets of Pinehurst. He was a constant presence at Engine 3 of the Billerica fire dept. He talked often of joining the military. I am glad to see he was so successful. God bless Howie and his family. Semper Fi.
