I worked with Dr. Perper on black lung cases. He was one of the kindest and most honest men I have ever known. He loved to work. He taught me so much. It has been three years and I still think of him often and was so privileged to know him . He is gone but never forgotten.

To Blanca Perper Greenstein, her family and her children, Elliot and Leah and their fathers, we wish you our deepest condolences on your loss. We can sympathize on the loss of a parent, we know all too well how it feels, especially when events occur in which you cannot help them. Please take comfort in knowing that because God rewards those in the afterlife for ALL their actions on earth, I am sure your father and grandfather will be WELL looked after. May his afterlife last an eternity. May he have the whatever peace he deserves as his reward.
