Perry was a good friend from high school. I remember his great sense of humor; I can hear his laugh today, even though it's been almost 50 years. Blessings to Kathy and the girls, and special condolences to his sister Roberta, who was my good friend and Perry's too. I know he will be missed by many for his easy gentle ways.

Dear Hofler Family,

My friendship with Perry goes back about 20 years. It began at our satellite office in western Henrico County. Perry helped to provide blueprinting services. Thru the years, he always provided exemplary service, regardless of the stringent time frames we may have put him in.
We are now doing our printing "in house", but Perry would still come by our office to say hello and engage in good conversation. I am truly grateful that I had the opportunity to know him and I will truly miss his visits to our office.
I offer to you all my sincerest condolences, and my prayer is that God will grant you all the strength and courage to make it thru this difficult time. My thoughts are with you.

Sincerely,
Roger V. Gallahan

So many great memories from our pre-teen and teen years in Gates County. I hope the family will accept my condolences at this time of Perry's untimely departure from this life.
