I have known the Perkins since the day I was born and there has never been a time where I haven't loved every single one of them to death. Mr. Harry Perkins was a great man, I always enjoyed his company, and I truly am sorry for the families loss.##imported-begin##Harrison Long##imported-end##

Dear Judy,
Words cannot express my sorrow for you at this time. Harry was a wonderful man and I knew from the moment that I met you both that you adored each other. That is something that can never be taken away. I hope to see you in the fall, but until then, you are in my thoughts and prayers and may God bless you.##imported-begin##Lo'Anne Peck##imported-end##
Dear Judy, Kathy, Ricky and especially Marie,
I am so sorry to hear about Harry.
He will always be my little blond
haired neighbor on Plaza St. We played so many cowboy and indians wars together in which he was always sheriff. What fun those days were. I miss those times of fun
as we all will forever miss
Harry.
Sadly,

To Harry's family and other loved ones .....
As a Sunday school and public school classmate of Harry from the third grade through high school graduation, I will remember Harry as a kind boy with a caring heart.
I will always remember him as one of my "boyhood idols" from the time we played Little Leage baseball together. He was a ferociously competitive and amazingly successful left-handed pitcher. He was the smoothest infielder you could imagine! No one hated to lose more than Harry, but he never made an excuse and he never had an unkind word for the opponent.
I've only visited with Harry one time at our 20th year reunion since we graduated in 1960, and I left Greggton, but I've read the other comments in this Guestbook, and it does not surprise me to read that Harry's love for others continued to show throughout his life.
I take comfort in the certainty that Harry was welcomed by the loving arms of God when he left this life.
May God grant all who loved Harry the serenity he now enjoys.##imported-begin##Robert Bob Rogers##imported-end##
I remember Harry from years ago when I was a little girl and went to Macedonia Baptist Church. I had always told my mother that he reminded me of Kenny Rogers. During my times of shopping at Dressin Gaudy he was always nice and had that smile. He took pleasure in helping the ladies with their purchases not something you get from just any man. Harry was a true JOY! He will be missed by all. My prayers are with you.##imported-begin##Sherri McCain Utz##imported-end##
Judy,
I am so sorry about Harry. I am also sorry Alex and I could not be there Friday. I know how hard it is for you. You know to call Mom if you need anything, because she knows exactly what you are going through and she will always be there for you. I told her that Daddy now has his best friend with him in Heaven.##imported-begin##Tracy Ragan##imported-end##
To the Perkins Family,
As friends of Kathy Brodhead, we are of aware of the great loss that you share. We pray for your healing. Please remember: "A happy memory never wears out." Recall it as often as you wish.##imported-begin##Joe and Sue Calabrette##imported-end##
My mom and I began shopping at Dressin' Gaudy when it first opened downtown and Harry always greeted us with a smile. Whether we spent $5.00 on a pair of earrings or got several outfits AND all the accessories, he treated us just the same. The last time I went in the store, we talked for a few minutes and when we left my 5 year old daughter looked up at me and said, "Was that Santa Claus?" I said, "No, but he could be." Our thoughts and prayers are with your family during this loss. He touched many people and he will never be forgotten.##imported-begin##Dava McCasland##imported-end##
