Perry was very caring person with a good sense of humour, and always enjoyed a visit from his many friends that would often visit at his camp on Long Lake. He had a extraordinary memory and was very knowledgeable in a wide range of topics. He was noted to be a very hard worker at his years at Interpaving. I have many fond memories of Perry and I will miss him dearly. R.I.P. my friend.

Perry was the embodiment of what a human being should be. He was kind, considerate, funny and engaging. He was especially compassionate taking care of his girl friend Leona at the time. He will be missed but however endeared to our hearts.

I was very sad to hear of Perry’s passing. He was a big part of our family as he was my sister’s partner (Leona). He was also a big part of my daughter’s life as she spent a lot of time with them and he was fondly called “Bear” by her when she was younger. I would like to offer my sincerest condolences to his family from the Larocque family. Hélène and Thérèse.
