Jim, Jenny, Joanne, Jill & Mrs. "D",

You always welcomed us neighborhood kids into your home. I have very fond memories of the Summer days and nights spent at the Driscoll's. Your home was always a place of security and comfort. It was with much sadness that I heard of your Dad's passing.

Jimmy, you were one of my best pals growing up and your Dad was a gentle, kind, fun soul. He treated us rowdy boys with great empathy & respect - especially when we made it very difficult. We seemed to do that pretty often in those days.

He always had kind words to say to the team after a victory or a loss – it didn’t matter which. In our later years, I loved the conversations that turned political. He was a pleasant man in debate; thoughtful and kind.

Ami & I send our heartfelt sympathies. Your family will be with ours in prayer.

God bless,
Brent & Ami Casper

It is only the fondest of memories that I have for Perry and our "growning up" years together. His family and ours were close for any years. Perry's kindnesses to my mother will never be forgotten. I also so appreciated Perry and Anne making the trip to Louisville for our wedding. My sincere sympathy to Anne and the children on the loss of such a loving and endearing husband, father and friend.

I am saddened to hear of the loss of Perry, he had been my attny since 1998, he was awesome then and in recent years as he lead my youngest son through juvinile court hearings. My son, if one of his friends would get in trouble would call "Mom, whats Perry"s number so n so needs it." Perry was always an inspiration to me, he had some very fatherly advice everytime we would meet either for me or my son, he will be missed.
My heart goes out to you his family.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Perry's loved ones. He was a good man and always helpful to us when my brother, Jim Rabbitt, had his stroke and eventually passed away. Perry will be missed in the community. With deepest sympathy, Joy (Rabbitt) DuShane

Dear Driscoll Family, Since first working for Perry as a teenager 25 years ago, and having later renewed that friendship as an Old Orchard neighbor, it comes quickly and easy for me to say what a fine man he was. My impression of him will forever be as a devoted family man and professional who so gracefully blended his keen business savvy with friendship and trust. You felt safe with Perry; his fatherhood was always present. That meant a lot to me. May the angels lead him into heaven and may the martyrs come to welcome him. God bless you all.

To Perry's Family
I am a client of Perry's. He was very compassionate, caring, supportive and a true blessing during my divorce. I have multiple sclerosis and have become a quadraplegic from the disease. He supported me and made sure I was well taken care of. I cannot thank him enough. My thoughts and prayers are with your family during this deeply saddened time. May the love of Christ bring you comfort and strength. Love DeAnn, Danielle, Dalton Laws and Dale and Robin Evearitt
