Jim is preceded by his parents Lolly and Durward Perry, of Georgetown, and the love of his life Sandra, who passed earlier this year. They were married in Georgetown on June 30th, 1962, or as Jim would say "60 years-8 months- 12 days- 14 hours and oh let's see, about 30 minutes" James proudly served in the Army, rising to the rank of Captain, and garnering the Bronze Star Medal for heroic service during a time of combat in Vietnam. James was a proud and honorable man who impacted the lives of everyone who met him. No one left the house without a hug, an "I love you, be smart, remember the rules, and remember who you are". Thank you Dad. We will forever carry a positive mental attitude(PMA) and the memory of all the life lessons and a laugh that would fill a room. We love you Dad
