Coach Joe was one of a kind. I thoroughly enjoyed coaching with him at Bowie Jr High.  I miss being able to visit with him while he was in Irving.

Coach Perryman was a great Coach and a good leader ! I will always remember him as being fair and a straight shooter ! God Bless You Coach !And Thank You For Everything!!

I had the opportunity to know and work with Joe since 1968. He was a wonderful 
friend who I respected for his exceptional character and and dedication to his job and his students. Joe and I had a great relationship even though my work was in the fine arts and
his in athletics. I always admired Joe's professional ability as an outstanding coach and 
role model for young people. Irving ISD was fortunate to have a man like Joe Perryman
as an employee and the city of Irving as one of its finest citizen's.


Joe was a really a  good husband to my sister, Sandra,  and I always appreciated that....He would go out of his way to help anybody any way he could.  He was "one of the good ones" and I will hurt for her every day she is without him.  


Uncle Joe was a very good man, always nice to us. I remember living with him with my mom until my dad found a house in Minnesota.  He was one of a kind and a generous man. Rest in Peace Uncle Joe!!! You are loved!!!


We love and miss you PaPa Joe - we were not ready for you to leave us.  So many good times and memories will never be forgotten as we go forward.  Your kindness to everyone, no matter if it was a stranger or family and friends will be cherished forever and of course your laughter that made us laugh will never be forgotten!  Love you!   (your favorite daughter in-law)

I'm a recent acquaintance of Joe and Sandy, having met them at Joe's Coffee Shop.  How I enjoyed talking to them, hearing about their recent trips, seeing pictures,...........Joe's unmistakable laughter often filled the coffee shop, and everyone who heard it laughed along with him.  I was absolutely crazy about Joe and can't believe I won't see him again.  My heart goes out to you, Sandy, and all your family!     

I had the pleasure of playing under Coach Perryman at Bowie Jr High. He was so much more than a coach. He was a mentor, a driving force and quite honestly, the first strong male role model in my young life. He instilled courage and confidence in my impressionable mind and led me to a deeper understanding of faith through the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. In 2013, I was able to express to him,as an adult, the nature of the impact he made in my life at the Irving ISD Hall of Fame dinner. It was truly a special moment for me personally. He will be sorely missed by all who had the pleasure to know him. 

Bless you Coach for always Making The Difference. 🙏

The year was 1978. I was a single mother of three beautiful girls and I was working three jobs to get enough money for the Christmas holidays. In December I was driving the girls to visit their father who was in Huntsville, Texas and my car broke down on the way  there. A very nice couple traveling from Plano stopped to help us and my car got towed to the nearest town. We had to spend the night in Huntsville and get a bus back to the Dallas area, so there went all my extra money. Unbeknownst to us, Coach Perryman made arrangements to get our car back to Irving and the whole school, Bowie Junior high, pitched in to give us money and bring gifts for the girls for Christmas. BEST Christmas EVER!!!!!! Coach Perryman was truly a man with a BIG heart. My condolences to the family. RIP Coach Perryman. 

Please accept my condolences on the passing of your loved one. May our loving Heavenly Father Jehovah the God of tender mercies comfort you and your family during this difficult time. 2 Corinthians 1:3,4

So very sorry to hear about Coach Perryman.
Coach Perryman was my 7 Th grade Texas History Teacher at Bowie Jr. High in Irving Texas. 
He was a great teacher! He always made Texas
History fun, and interesting.
I remember one day he told our class that when our class starts driving a car the technology will be at the level that  cars will be driving in the sky like the Jetsons cartoon show. We all thought that would be really cool!
I have thought about that over the years ,and thinking we still aren’t driving a car in the sky.
I think Coach Perryman’s thinking was way ahead of technology!  A very intelligent Man!
Thank You Coach! 
To his family,
you are in my thoughts and prayers. May God Bless You All.🙏🏻





Joe was head coach at Bowie Jr High when I came to Bowie in 1974 as a new coach and I will always remember him making me feel at home. I will always cherish his thoughtfulness and friendliness and his contagious laugh and the way he treated everybody with utmost respect. I will truly miss Joe because he was such a big part of my life for a long time. My prayers go out to Joe and his family. This world needs a lot more Joe Perrymans!

Joe was my mentor, someone who I looked up to for decades for guidance and support.  Joe and I clicked from the get go and throughout my life. He took an interest in me as a young teacher/coach in the early 80s and I will never forget Joe and how kindly he treated me and so many others.  My dear, dear friend will be greatly missed.

Sandy, you are welcome to visit anytime. Peace to all the family.

Coach Joe was an amazing teacher and friend!  I had him for 7th grade Texas History at Nimitz High School in Irving and fell in love with Texas History because of him!  I later taught Texas History!

He will always be one of my all-time favorite teachers who had a great impact on my life!  I have enjoyed seeing he and Sandy (Mrs. Joe) every Sunday at lunch at Joe's Coffee Shop.  

He will definitely be missed!!  Great man!!

I have heard many people use the expression "he is one of kind"  and that sometimes it sounds trite.  But, Joe Perryman was the epitome of that expression.  He truly was ONE of a Kind.  Joe hired me for my first job at Bowie Jr. High in 1974 and through his mentorship, I learned how to teach and coach.  Joe was always ready to assist anyone who needed it and assist any students in his PE class that needed it.  I can remember him doing some fancy basketball handling tricks for the kids and they loved it.  I tried one of those tricks just one time and had to be picked up off the gym floor.  He loved what he did and it was clearly evident that Joe Perryman was in the right profession.  I visited Joe in the hospital and told the nurse that he was truly a Legend in the Irving ISD athletic circle and although he did not respond to my words, I think he could hear me.  Joe Perryman was a man of great Christian belief and truly loved the Lord and did not mind sharing those thoughts if you asked him to do so.  So, Joe,  show them some of those basketball tricks in the heavenly kingdom and we will miss you dearly.
