"Your laugh and smile was infectious, my constant person that was in the office with me daily. I've missed you since you left and am so thankful for the friendship we had. I will definitely look you up on the other side my friend. You will always be Grandpa in my eyes. Love you buddy. To Joan & Ron - you are such loving, caring parents and i'm so glad that he had you during this time to care for him. My heart hurts for you as you get through these days ahead, but knowing he is no longer in pain makes the pain we feel a little less."

"Brian and I met on a blind date late spring ‘99. We fell FAST for each other with me also falling in love with his wonderful family. Brian and I rode the tops of the waves together for nine solid years. Although our marriage didn’t go the distance as we both had wished for, my love and cherished memories of our time together has never ever faded. I will remember him for his beautiful heart, kindness, loyalty, and being incredibly handsome. He had a deep love of music with CSNY, Black Crowes and Rolling Stones being a few of his all time favorites - I can’t even begin to count all of the concerts that we saw together.I will ALWAYS love you Brian Perry (aka Boo). May you be at peace and surrounded by much love, light, and laughter in God’s house."
