Dear Sandra and family,
I was so sorry to hear of the death of our dear Perry, our Red Cross Christmas "Big Elf." He will be sorely missed during the holidays (and always) when he brought so much joy to so many in the nursing home and during the Christmas Day dinner for the last 10 years or more. He was a good friend and a wonderful Red Cross supporter. We will miss him dearly.

My sincere sympathy to Sandy.
Perry was a wonderful man and a lot of fun to be around. I don’t know how to get in touch with him, but I know Hank Bishop would want to know about this as well.
Take care,
