Perry was the very first neighbor we met in The Enclave. He was always warm, friendly and pleasant. Perry sat in a chair in his back yard and supervised ever facet of the building of our home. It was wonderful! We are so sorry that he's no longer with us. We are here for Ruth and the entire family. Our deepest condolences to the entire family. May God bless you all.

My condolences to the family of Perry. I will always remember the great times I had on Skidaway Island both as a student and an employee. Perry was always on hand to help with whatever I needed help with. When I think of Perry, I also remember the after hour events with Perry holding a beer, eating boiled shrimp or crabs from the work table, and chomping on an old cigar in the shop telling tall tales.
