Perry will be missed by the Lynch family. We are so grateful and blessed with meeting him. We promise to always keep your memory alive for Tatum. I hope you are fishing and, on a boat, somewhere up there.

The Lynch Family

So sorry to hear the news of Perry. I lived most of my life unable to match Jerry and Perry to the right name. I have lifted prayers to God for the family.
