Bill and I grew up together in Perrine, FL, where we attended the original Perrine Elementary School and South Dade High School. We were in Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts and attended Perrine Baptist Church. I have not had any contact with Bill since High School, but have fond memories of our friendship during our youth. My condolences to Lois and your loss after 58 years of marriage. God Bless, Harry "Mick" Brown, Aurora, CO.

Mr. Bill Perry and I go way back, both of us had the love of aluminum running thru our veins. My first meeting with Bill was about 25 years ago at his business in Franklin. Bill had a great sense of humor and enjoyed talking about car racing and his cars. I will always have fond memories and am thankful I had the pleasure of knowing Bill.
Sincerely,
Ray Lloyd
