Percy will truly be missed.  He was so kind and friendly with everyone he met.  I could talk to him about any subject and he knew something about it.  Percy was very loving and devoted to my sister.  Well, my best friend has gone to be with the LORD.    I will be forever grateful for knowing him.

Cousin Gail...you have my deepest sympathy first and for most! Know that me and my family are praying for you at this time. No words can express.  Because you know I just did that as well. Just know my heart is with you! Praying for you and the family! Love you Fam!!!💞

Well , tomorrow  Friday, March 29th , 2019  will be my cherished husband and best friend home going. He will truly be loved and missed.  He was a devoted husband , father , grandfather.  great grandfather , brother and friend.  I was very Blessed to have him in my life for over 29 years plus . I will miss his smile and easy going ways.  an argument never lasted long with him [ 10 minutes the most ]. He would come back and speak as if  nothing had ever happened.  He was the most forgiving person I ever knew.  I will miss his love , his love for children , people  and his love of life. He loved God first  of all.           R. I . P.  My Friend and Husband .

Percival Salmon was not only my grandfather, but a father to me also for all my life.  I'll forever have the childhood memories of riding in the back of the truck and sleeping on bunk beds, driving my toy trucks and crashing into rocks to have him there to pick me back up, and building some of the sturdiest snowmen a child would ever see.  He was the type of man that loved people more than he loved himself.  Grandpa believed in unity, with friends.. family.. even strangers, like a true Jamaican he lived by the saying "out of many- one people".   He had a smile that lasted through it all (and if you've heard my grandmother yell, that says a lot!)  Even to this day, I've never met a person that embodied happiness more than him.   In the end my grandfather taught me that life was meant for LIVING, not worrying.  During his last days, he remembered me even when he couldn't remember anything else.  That right there was a privilege in itself, and now I can carry 21 years of memories around for the both of us.  If you're reading this grandpa, I'll love you always! xo Aliyah, your young lady.

Growing up, Percy, aka Grandpa, was Mr. Fix-it. Always working on something new around the house, fixing whatever needed to be fixed, probably fixing things that didn't need to be fixed to be honest, but that was the type of guy he was. Would do anything to help anyone and everyone, no questions asked. He epitomized the cliche gentle giant, big strong guy but wouldn't hurt a fly.  For as long as I can remember, Percy was always around, laughing, making light-hearted jokes, and just being involved with the family. It's going to be hard not to have Percy around anymore, but we as a family will continue to carry on his memory, and I personally hope to continue to live a life that he would have been proud of. 
Going to miss you very much Percy, thank you for being such a wonderful Grandfather. We will all make sure that grandma is well taken care of.

Love,
Shaun

Mr Percy was a kind and gentle man .  I remember his  smiling face and  gentle spirit was the first thing greeting me  on  a Sunday morning when I visited church . 
He will be truly missed by many .
My prayers are with his wife who is  special  to me as well and l the rest of his family .
Sleep in peace Mr Percy you will be missed but never forgotten 

Percy has been a large part of my life for as long as I can recall.  Never a misspoken word or a bitter spirit within, but always a pleasant  greeting  and a humble farewell.   He truly embodied the jamaican adage "no worries" to the end.

I pray he remain in God's  loving memory  until the king of God's kingdom (Christ Jesus) fulfill this assured loving promise at Job 14:15 "he will call and the dead will answer". From death he will awaken. 

Until then, the one whom you cherished the most; your wife and my mother (Gail) will be placed in our care, " no worries."

Thank you for having been a constant feature in our lives, you will forever be cherished and missed.

Percy was a kind and generous, family oriented man who  will be missed. I remember how he always made himself available to help when needed, always ready to fix something or just to have a good conversation.

Pop Percy, a gentle, kind, loving man. I thank God for allowing me, my husband and family to be a part of Pop’s life as well as his amazing wife (Gail) and all of their family. His presence will truly be missed. The smile he had when he greeted everyone was priceless along with the genuine love he had for everyone. Our hearts will have a void, but we will remember the joy he brought to everyone, and in every situation. Our prayers of comfort and strength go out to Momma Salmon, all his family and everyone whose life Pop Percy touched. 

Percy was well known as a gentleman who was very respectful to his wife and all whom they came in contact with. Percy loved children and they loved him back. He was like a gentle giant to them.  At Mt. Zion, Percy, a very active member, will be greatly missed. He served humbly and faithfully on various church boards and along with his wife,  he was available and helped in anyway he could.  Love was well displayed by Percy; and one knows, that was pleasing to GOD.  Continued prayers and love to his wife Gail and family.


Percy was a beautiful man who loved his wife, family and others unconditionally.  Anyone who was graced by his presence was truly blessed.  He will never be forgorgotten.
My heartfelt thoughts and prayers go out to his beautiful wife, family and friends may he rest in peace.

To have known Percy has been a blessing.  We are fortunate to have had him as a neighbor and friend.  Percy was always there with a wave, a hug. a handshake or a spaghetti dinner.  We will remember him as a strong man with a gentle and kind nature, willing to help without being asked .  Whether he showed up to unload a U-Haul,  to bring us a package UPS mis-delivered, or to offer his support in safeguarding our neighborhood, his good nature was infectious.  We  pray that Gail and the rest of his beloved family can take comfort in knowing that Percy was genuinely loved and respected by many.

Percy has been our neighbor for many years. He was the kindest and most gentle person that we know. He will be sadly missed by all who knew him. Our deepest condolences go out to his wife Gail and all his family. God be with you all.
