Probably one of the best men I ever knew. Protected my belongings while I was in the hospital for 31 days after being shot 4 times in a robbery. Didn´t charge me a dime and helped me after I was released from the hospital. Men like him are far and few between. Always happy go lucky attitude. Very nice. Rest in peace my friend. Our loss here is heavens reward there. Ed Perry-Perry´s Coin.
