Throughout his life he enjoyed bowling, dancing, swimming, golfing and was also very social. There wasn't anything he wouldn't try at least once in life. Perley was known for his strong work ethic. He made many lifelong friends wherever he went, whether it
be through work or social events. He was loved and cherished by his large extensive family and all that knew him. Perley spoke often about how much family meant to him and how much he cherished his. He will be truly missed.
In closing, using Perley's word "Eekacamonachea".
