Thank you my friend. Love you all.
Condolences from our family to yours, We were shocked to hear of his passing. May he rest in peace and God give your family strength at this very difficult time.
I am truly saddened to hear Reg passed away. I knew him from when he’d stop by our store to check stuff out. He always had a great attitude. Me and the guys from work were sad to hear about his passing.
Much love from my fam and the guys as well. We are sorry for your loss and he will be missed.
I’m so sorry for your loss Kathy.
Still can’t believe you’re gone my friend. It was a good experience working with you and will be hard to forget you Perry.
We appreciate your thoughts and the support of his coworkers.

Your family has been a part of ours for so long that we have become one. Thanks for the love and prayers.
I worked with Perry at the Colorado Department of Public Health in the late 80’s. Perry was my replacement at El Paso County Health Department after my return to Denver. I remember his positive outlook on life and his big heart. Although I lost touch with him over the years he was always, and remains, in my thoughts. Christopher
Thank you for sharing you story with our family. Perry had the joy of meeting so many people that enhanced his life personally and professionally.
I was shocked and saddened by the announcement of Perry’s death. Perry was my guest speaker for years at East High School until he moved to Alaska. My students loved him and he was my go to guy for all questions asked by my students. Please accept my condolences.
Thank you. Speaking at East High School as well as the other schools around Pueblo was his favorite part of the job with the Health Department. When we would run into past students, they would always mention “The talk” and laugh thanking him.
