Sincere condolences to Perry's family. I find this hard to write as I do not want to believe he has passed. We shared the same disease, humor and political stands. He was a great supporter and champion for all of us. There will not be a day when I do not poke him and watch for his posts. Sleep and breathe freely now without pain. Tears and hugs for your family.

Move beyond the cycles of suffering in bliss, Perry. You have been an amazing friend. Breathe easy sweet man.

My very deepest condolences to Perry's family. My heart goes out to you and my prayers as well. What an extraordinary man he was. Always a kind and supportive word for others. Always something to make someone feel better. His heart was great and so was he as a friend. I am honored to have known him and proud to call my friend. He was admired, respected and loved. He will be missed greatly.

WILL MISS YOU PERRY. ALWAYS LOVED YOUR POST . R.I.P. NOW BE NICE UP THERE.WILL NEVER FORGET YOU . LOVE YOU  <3   <3

Breathe easy my friend. Fly with the angels........

Perry was a good friend to so many. I loved his sense of humor. His political observations and comments, his quest for social justice, his tireless pointing out any injustice.  But most of all I loved that he was compassionate. No matter how much he was hurting, he always found a comforting word for anybody in need of comfort. Wherever he may be, may he be in peace and breathe easy. My condolences to the family and I hope you will find strength and consolation in the knowledge that Perry was loved. My thoughts are with you.

Condolences go to Perry's family. Many memories from Bermuda NAS. Fair winds and following seas shipmate.

I met Perry when we were both stationed in Bermuda.  We lost contact over the years and reconnected with Facebook.  He was a great guy.  I will really miss his posts and witty comments.  Rest in Peace Perry.  Now you can breath easy and not be in so much pain.  To Perry's family,  I am so sorry for your loss.  My thoughts and prayers are with you.  <3

Here is a candle lit in Perry's memory. May he see it and know that he and his family are in my thoughts and prayers

I just wanted to let you know how sorry and saddened I was when I read of Perry passing. He was one of the first people who became my "breathing buddy." He would encourage me during difficult times cheering me up with his jokes and funny cartoons. Perry also shared all the good moments with all of us in the PF support group. He helped me all these years and I don't think he realized just how much he meant and did to help me deal with the effects of the fibrosis. He will be surely missed by many,definitely myself. 
My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you. {{{hugs Perry}}}
