I will miss Uncle Woody. The momories of this man are constant though out my life. Uncle Woody was the first person to take me fishing. I remember many hunts with him and my Grandfather. I will always remember and miss you.

To the Perry Family, My Thoughts and Prayers are with You during this sad time. PopPop was a GREAT Man and I will Cherish the Many Memories I had with him Hunting and Fishing. I recall the first time I went Rabbit Hunting with Uncle Willard and Him and I thought you had to chase after the dogs. He laughed so hard at me I thought he was gonna pee his pants. Nope I never shot a rabbit that day. He will be Truly missed. May God Bless the Family during this Sad Time. We Love You PopPop and will see You again....TT

Dad, You may be gone but you will never be forgotten. You will live forever in our hearts. I will always cherish your sense of humor/teasing. Like the time on the way to NC you told me the cows down South legs are shorter on one side than the other so they can walk around the mountains eaiser. It's a comfort to know that you and Mom were together for Valentine's Day.
