PERLSON--Gary Mitchell, age 62, of NYC, on Tuesday, June 30, 2020. Gary passed away with his son by his side from a sudden heart attack at Weil Cornell Hospital.

Devoted dad to his children Cory and Alexis Perlson and their mother Carrie, father-in-law to Brianna Perlson, and future son-in-law Tyler Gramse. Remarried to his current wife Ellen Schweitzer whom had two daughters Lauren and Hillary. Gary dedicated much of his life to his children.
