Celebration of Life for John Alan Perry
During the reunion, we will set aside time for a Celebration of Life in honor of John Alan Perry (1942–2025), one of William and Irene’s sons and a deeply loved dad, grandpa, brother, and uncle.
This time will also be a space to remember other family members we’ve lost over the years, to share stories and photos, and to support one another as a family as we celebrate the lives that shaped us.
