Dear Dad,
It's so hard to believe that you are not longer here with us. We miss you terrible and I often think about the wonderful times we had together.
Thank you for all your wise advices, and for all your love. I remember telling you that we were going to overcome this stage in your life, without knowing that God had other plans.
I'll always love you!!!!!  Look forward to seeing you in heaven!

Nina,
Dale and I are so sorry to hear about Lonnie.  We did not find out until after the funeral or we would have been there.  
From looking at this photo gallery, it looks like you have a wonderful family.
God bless you all at this time.  
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
  K.D. and Sharon Northerner

Hold on to your memories, and let them guide you during this time of sadness.  We hold you safe in our hearts at this time of sadness.  Love you.

Please accept my heartfelt sympathy in your loss Nina.

What a great man and loss to the family. Lonnie was like a big brother to me and I'm sure others. Always kind and friendly and giving good advice. It was obvious he was a great husband and father and loved his family. He'll be missed by many. Nothing but good memories of Big Lonnie. Billy Surrett and Family

Nina and family, 

My condolences on your loss.  I was not aware of Lonnie's passing until you sent this link.  Although I did not know Lonnie as well as others, I truly respected him and really enjoyed his visits and stories and will miss him dearly.  You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Lonnie, So sorry to hear about the loss of your dad,  We are praying for you and your family. Hope you find comfort in our Lord, and the hope we have that you will see him again..  GOD BLESS!!

I AM PROUD TO HAVE LONNIE AS A FRIEND, WE HAD MANY DISCUSSIONS OVER THE YEARS, FROM OUR TIME IN LITTLE LEAGUE TO POLITICS AND MANY MORE AND I WILL MISS HIM VERY MUCH. MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH THE PERRY FAMILY.

Thank you for making sure that I didn't grow up without a Dad!!  You made a choice to play that role in my life and you made an immeasurable difference!!  I love you and will miss you dearly!!

I am so blessed to have met and gotten to know Lonnie.  What a wonderful summer we all shared!  Watching the Indianapolis 500 together!  I have been blessed by the love and parenting Lonnie shared through raising my Nyki and being the father she would not have had any other way. God has blessed everyone touched by Lonnie's love.  I am proud to be included in this group!!

Nina, Jacquelyn and Lonnie, Jr: please accept my sincere condolences on the loss of your husband and father. I regret that I can't be there to tell you personally as I'm out of town on business. My thoughts and prayers are with your family. Brad Wethington

Although the world has lost a good man, we thank God for the time He allowed him to be with us. We are so much better for having known him. Perry family, know that our prayers are with you and that earth has no sorrow that God cannot heal. We love you and thank you for sharing Lonnie with us.

Grandpa I miss you so much already. I never thought that I could hurt as bad as I am hurting now, knowing that I will never be able to see you or hear you call me "Lataters" one last time. But I promise you Grandpa I will finish school and I will make you proud!
Love Always,
LaTaya

I Love You Lonnie, You will never know how much you will be missed ..... I thank God he gave you to my Sister because it made life better for me. I always said when god made you , He said that is too close to Perfect and he broke the mold...........Your Sister-in-Law Tammie

You will be greatly missed, Lonnie. Mike & I have great memories of all those band competitions and all that went along with having a kid in band and the camaraderie among the parents. So glad we had the opportunity to reconnect with  you at our grandsons' swimming & diving meets last year. Hope you are at peace and reunited with your folks.

We have lost a friend! I remember meeting Lonnie for the first time during the "Drive through Bethlehem". Since this was the first time that he was doing something, I tried to encourage him that God wanted to use him in special ways.  Since that day, he was always the one to encourage me! As he grew in leadership, he grew in confidence. 
    I am so glad that God allowed our paths to cross. I will miss him, until we meet again!
    To the whole Perry family, we grieve with you at Lonnie's passing. We wish that we could be there to help and to hold you, but the Lord knows. Know that our prayers go with you and we will continue to ask the Lord for strength and wisdom along the way.

We serve a Great God!
Phil Coppola (for the family)

Daddy I love you and miss you so much. There will never be another man as great as you. I was so lucky to have you as a dad.
