Perry's greatest joy was fishing with his dad and his boys. He was multi-talented, both musically and artistically, and his love of all creatures and appreciation of nature was beautiful. In death, he is rejoined with his parents and a son, PH. Those left to cherish his memory are his fiancé, Diane Garrett; children: Cody Moore, Coleman (Joye) Moore, Justin Hayes, and Jessica Mills; grandchildren: Audrey and Oliver Moore; and his sister, Susan (Michael) Leavy, all of whom he loved dearly.
