Its very sad to hear about Mr. Perrys passing. He and his wife lived out the back of us for most of my life and we often chatted across the back fence. They were lovely people and were amazingly kind to us when my dad passed. Every time we would go up to Kirkland Lake for our summer visit we would drop in to see them and have a lovely visit. So many of our neighbours have now gone and its going to be very sad to go up there and not have them to visit. Thanks for everything Mr. Perry. Condolence To Rick and his family.
